1999 DODGE RAM 1500 LARGE EVAP LEAK P0443 P0455

[@bigbillabong]

Best video I have seen it adressed exactly the problem I have and how to fix it . The dealer discontinued that part years ago so what he does is exactly what you have to do thanks😅

[@jeromejakubowski7763]

Excellent video very well detailed and informative I’m having the same issue with my 01 Ram and it is the same part that is in the same condition causing the codes I will follow what you did to fix my issue thank you

[@magicman3437]

Just unplug it by the filter

[@chrishall3884]

Trust me, we all appreciate this video

What is it about Guys named Dan that just think sooo far “outside of the box”? I love it when people like Dan can adapt things like this that would leave so many others (like me) just crippled. Thank you for your brilliant video!!!

[@getrdid2000red]

AWESOME VIDEO THANKS!! Im having same problem on my 98 DodgeRam 1500 5.9. I ordered same parts in your description. And added some 90 degree fittings so no possible kink in the hose.

[@tommygun3666]

I just want to thank you again for this video. I just got been doing the same thing to my Ram 1500. I drove the truck about 15 MI so far and the check engine light hasn't come back on. Bro you are a lifesaver. Now on to our dashboards. My dashboard is like yours needs to be replaced. I want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving as well.

[@DantheFixitMan]

Thank you so much! Happy Thanksgiving to you too!

Learn something new every day,thanks for this video,was a great help for my classic dodge.

Thanks for the video. I've got a 1999 Ram Van 1500...V-6 engine....I'm fighting the same issues for the calif SMOG test...that goofy angle rubber thing is rotten to the core...everything else on the whole system seems fine...only 2 electrical 'sensors/ components' in the whole SMOG system...Vapor 'Pump' and purge valve...I replaced both to no avail...the 'Canister is about the same as this one...under the drivers side... I'm getting the 0455 code...I bought a smoke machine...connected it at the purge valve line...smoke comes out the larger line from the cannister at the larger 'Pump' line... so I guess it's working...pretty wimpy amount of smoke/pressure...no smoke seen at the purge canister despite the poor condition of that right angle rubber fitting. Nothing going to the gas tank except one of those 1/4-5/16" hard plastic lines, goes to the right angle rubber thing....no pressure sensor ..just 4 wires for gas pump and gauge... I'm a DIY'er...only got the crappy Haynes manual...little to no info on anything later than 1988...even though the Cover says...up to 2005...

[@tommygun3666]

Thanks that was a wealth of knowledge. I have the same thing going on with my truck right now but I didn't know where to look. If that's the problem with my truck I'm going to get a can of Flex Seal and Flex Seal the crap out of it.

Awesome! Thank you very much

I recently ran into this same problem with the small rubber fitting but instead of replacing it with Tee fittings shown in the video I chose another remedy. Originally I was going to use RTV gasket sealer and recoat that fitting to reinforce it and make it stronger but didn't have any on hand so instead I chose to use some epoxy I have that was really thick with the viscosity of like wheel bearing grease. I mixed it up and then use a small paint brush to paint it around the fitting. I also glued the fitting to the canister. Overall this repair worked quite well for me. I cleaned the fitting with soap and water prior to the recoating so I had good adhesion. Just thought I would share my idea so others can chose which direction they want to fix this problem. This video was helpful.

[@tommygun3666]

Oh by the way. I did it your way. I didn't use Flex Seal. It only took about a half an hour to do

[@jamesmccool8150]

Dan, I have a 1999 Dodge Ram 5.9 engine. I have fuel vapor leak. Do you have a video out on this? Thanks

[@dillonpierce7869]

Mine has to have the same problem..... Advantage I have is my 2 parts trucks never had check engine lights for this problem..... Maybe that one piece is still useable on one of the other trucks I have. Still a better idea to put brand new hoses on it even if it's gotta be diy these days since they keep discontinuing parts.

[@frogfrogger6260]

Ok, I did just buy a new Valve, went in the Passenger side. And I still have the issues of stepping on gas* I lose all my air, till I let off the gas. Then I get my air. I can hear a Door close, and open when using the Gas Pedal. So what is next?

[@everythinginlifeisrecorded5309]

Great video! hoping this will fix my truck. I have the same jar and sock contraption now I know where to hook it up. Love the tools you’re using too. What kind of flashlight are you using ?

[@DantheFixitMan]

Thank you, That light is a Braun 390 Lumen LED Rechargeable Magnetic Slim Bar Work Light. I got it from Harbor Freight. Hope this will fix your truck! Take care, -Dan the Fix it Man

[@christin1095]

I think I found the same problem on my truck mine is a 1996 and it's on the driver side does that sound right?

[@bobb4745]

Great video

[@aronfuentes5451]

I had the same problem with my truck, but I used at end of a spark plug wire connector and a three way 1/4 plastic tee. my engine light has been off!

[@DantheFixitMan]

That sounds like a great solution as well!

[@chrishall3884]

Please please please send me information on the smoke machine that you built

Yes, please video how to for smoke machine

[@Namelesshero-e8k]

evap purge solenoid circuit P0443. Replaced the solenoid. Preformed function test while plugged in it clicks/works. Checked evap connector has power. Solenoid works during test both oem and new aftermarket during function test. Preformed leak test can only see smoke coming out of the breather hose cap coming from canister. Is that normal for it to come out of the breather cap. 99 dodge 1500 5.9. Any suggestions would help me out a ton. Appreciate your time

[@DantheFixitMan]

I am not sure on that, but I would continue with the smoke testing and see if you have any other leaks down underneath near the canister. It was very hard to find the one that I had down there… Best of luck to you. I hope you get it figured out. Please keep us posted. -Dan the Fix it Man

[@patashcraft8030]

I don't have my canisters on that brand. I got 97 second edition 1500 but I got a 5.9 mower I put in it can you bypass all that EVP stuff?

[@cadillacblades]

Your gas milage will get worse if you do.

[@Anthony-tg9vs]

Hello, watched video it was great, what's the name to that fitting that was falling apart? the one that connected the two into one. thanks

[@DantheFixitMan]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I never found a name of the rubber piece that failed…

[@jamesmcneely5124]

I have a 01 Dakota with a P0442 and P0445 engine code. Investigation showed that there is a small tube going from the evap can to somewhere around the gas tank. At some point something hit the outlet on the evap can and broke it off. I've ordered a new evap can and the tube. Any insight on how to replace the tube to the gas tank? Thanks for your video.

[@DantheFixitMan]

I am not sure on the Dakota, but you might have to drop the tank down or put a camera up there to see where it connects and/or if it also had a nipple that broke off. There might be a video or diagram you can find online... I recently fixed an evap issue with a jeep wrangler that had a cracked evap vent tube on the rollover valve (on top of the gas tank) with some epoxy and a vacuum fitting. Worked great. Here's a link to that video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGm0onl7f8qEfZo Thanks for watching.

The hose was cut off I was getting no codes

[@macmatt9417]

Was your truck running like shit? lack power? Load fluttering sound when trying to maintain a speed by chance??

[@DantheFixitMan]

No, this truck still ran ok, just had the check engine light on and those codes.

[@chuydehorta67]

What's that part called? I been trying to find it .... I just did a lil mickey mouse meanwhile

[@DantheFixitMan]

I never found the name of the small rubber part. I think it comes as a part of the larger hose assembly, but I believe it has been discontinued.

[@chuydehorta67]

@@DantheFixitMan yes I've been told it's discontinued.
