Subject: What hoses could be toast
IP: Logged

Message:
I had engine code P0442 come on for the gas cap and took my '01 Dak (4.7 L) to the dealer to have them look at it. They replaced the cap and the light was reset.

The light came back on and it was suggested to me that it could be one of the hoses on the engine with a small leak which would cause the same code to come up. Which hoses should I look at? What's the best thing to tell the dealer so they don't just snicker and tell me I'm full of s*** about closing the gas cap all the way?

Thanks,
Jason

Vacuum lines from throttle body to evap system and to the leak detection pump often crack and leak on 4.7's. That could easily set your code.

Leave the cap off on purpopse & keep going back as soon as the light goes on. Every day!!!. Tighten the cap before going to the dealer. Eventually, they'll change the hoses just to make you go away.
