Can't clear a code because it is emissions and can be fatal... Hmm.. BS!

Anyway, the only reason why I said that you may be in for a new CAT is if it was gas pouring out of the muffler. Condensation (water) in the tailpipe is a normal thing.

The Evap purge code will go away if it is fixed and successfully completes the tests it goes through. Replace the gas cap and see how it goes after a week or two. The Evap code IS NOT a life threatening (vehicle speaking) code. I repeat, IS NOT!!

Yeah, definitely nice looking. Get that one annoying code taken care of and you'll be golden.

BTW, where did you get your cowl hood from?

Actually im not sure, my dad got it before he passed away, and he got it for like 350 bucks, he was working at a car dealership as a paint and body man and that one came in and he paid for it instead of it going on the right car, so they ordered another one. She's nice though, i like it alot.

That is a nice hood. Sweet lookin truck. Cardomain.com is a good photo website. They allow you to put info about your car, etc. It's free, and easy.

Thanks for the comments i appreciate it, and yeah, cardomain is the next website im throwing some pics up on. By the way, just to let everyone know, i changed out the battery in it and after switching out the battery it reset the codes, and my ses light hasnt been on for over two days, and about 600 something miles, so it must of been something minor.

I really hate to add-on to this post, but I am having a similar gas related issue and wanted to see if I could get any pointers on what to do about this before taking it into the dealer (which I don't mind since it's worth it to me). The other day I had my blazer in the garage just to do some general maintenance on the new rims (checking lug torque and cleaning) and heard some splash all of a sudden. Gas was dripping out the back end. I looked back there and there was gas leaking out of this black module, which I have never seen before. I disconnected the hose and 1 harness and brought it to the dealer. They told me it was a EVAP Purge Valve and had one for me for $22. Even though I didn't know if that was the problem, I figured what the hell, only $22 so maybe I'd get lucky. However, this didn't make a difference.

Any idea on what else I could check myself before bringing it into the shop? There is a harness that plugs into this valvle. One wire is definately a ground, and the other does not have constant power, which I assumed to be due to the fact that it was fed in from some other sensor or relay.

I appreciate any help on this. I will be working on this all weekend before leaving to LA for work on Tuesday. Thanks again!
