I get the same code on my 03 2500 5.7 ram. I just thought it was the gas cap. I reset it with the superchips tuner and forget about it. :lol:

Sometime those codes won't turn off immediately. I have read that they can stay on until the next fill up or three short trips.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.

that's exactly what i was going to say. have someone "smoke" the system and they will find your leak. i had this problem on my old chevy blazer and it was a small leak around the seal of the pick-up in the tank.  :thumbs:

catch some guy at the dealer and tell him you are interested in getting all you work done there blah blah blah and they should but you a break. if they cant find it with a smoke machine they should be hit in the head with a tack hammer.
