Video makes perfect sense. I had it on my buddy's rack and looked at everything from the filler neck down. If I remember correctly there is a plate under the rear driver passenger seat that will come up and I might be able to access the vent hose. We looked for it but did not see it on the back side.
I will look at it more today when I wake up. I think a quick crawl under there will tell me if the diagrams I can find are accurate.
All my vent lines return to the charcoal canister and then back to the filler neck. Nothing for a dirt sober to get into. Gonna price a charcoal canister I guess.
Sorry it was not a simple fix. It never hurts to try. Glad other people chimed in. Try partsgeek.com as I have had good success with them. eBay is a good place sometimes. Good luck and hope you find and fix cheaply.
Yeah not such a cheap fix!! Canister is $400. Evap valve at canister that runs off vent lines are $100.
Pull a part?
Skip the biggest problem really is it's not throwing any codes at all. There are several sensors down there and I hate to start pulling stuff off and end up replacing more stuff. I can't complain 12 years old and 256,000 miles. If it will hold on 6 more months I am good.
Run it low, as low as you can get it home on, but bring 5 gallons home with you. Slowly and I mean slowly, try filling the tank with air. I had a similar problem with a few trucks in the past year and this cleared up. The reason you don't want much gas, is it will blow gas back on you.
