I too have had this code. There is a Purge Solenioid on the manifold of the engine. (EVAP purge solenoid) I belive. They are like $30 from any parts store. Put one on and CE light will go away. Trust me I have been through the same thing you went through. I to replaced the canister under the truck. It was not the problem.

The job literally take 10 minutes tops.

thanks, i'll try to find one of those... thanks alot for saving me a few bucks

When my canister gets clogged (Mudding) I get those same problems, but also I noticed that it is hard to fill the beast up form empty. The nozzle keeps clicking off. I guess because the vent is clogged. I can remove the hose blow it out, and usually beat it with a hammer to losen up anything inside. That usually fixes the problem. I always clear the code with a programmer. If it is not hard to put gas in from empty the vent is probably working.

you are referring to the one under the truck right? I think HumminNBoatin' was referring to the one under the hood..
