    Charcoal / vapor / evap canister, how it should be set up and other information

    Well the 3 port will recover vapor from the tanks, but it would not perform the other funcations, bowl vent, A/F connection and it purges a little different. There are parts (designed for Chryslers) that will make a 3 port function like a 5 or 6. Let me see if I can find a 5 port and I'll get...

    Charcoal / vapor / evap canister, how it should be set up and other information

    Thanks for the picture. You can use the 5 port canister (can be setup as 6) GM PN#17064627DS NAPA PN#CRB 229805 The only difference is the 6th port, the solo port on the end closest to the radiator will have a cap on it that you'll need to pop off, and the port faces straight up instead of...

    I think something like this is more likely than a canister / evap problem. @vphouger should try a quick drive with the caps off. My bet is it won't make a difference but a little diagnostic test like this could save a lot of wasted time and money. @vphouger Our units are sealed from the...

    Charcoal / vapor / evap canister, how it should be set up and other information

    How many ports are on the canister? There are a lot of specific P/N #'s that have been discontinued. These part numbers below will work in place of most of them, and if not a direct fit they can be adapted. If you have your old canister and can take a picture of it from the top I can tell you...

    GMC Savana, Plus a Chevy Express Now Too

    @bucket thanks of thinking of me in the motel pick. I need to off load the photos from my phone, I've got a motel stay kind of recent that's worth looking at. I'll get on it....

    That could be a real possibility, either that or the canister has had lines off of it for so long it's totally plugged and nothing gets through it. Regardless it sounds to me like the evap system isn't working. @vphouger See this thread >>>>>...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Well IDK how much trouble this would get us in but I'll take a quart shipped! Oh and it wasn't brandy, I asked my wife because I wasn't 100% sure on that and she said it was rum, and that's right. It's been that long since he moved.

    Yes I know you were joking, and I'm half joking / half dreaming. I ain't coming.... I use to have a friend in McMinnville Oregon that use to make black berry brandy. I loved that stuff. IDK the proof but it was soooo strong.

    Those emoji's are about how I feel some days at the shop. What I have learned from the various shops I've managed. My primary job is answering questions and putting out fires. The company we use for towing does not specifically give a forum discount, but they give 10% off for invoices...

    IDK which day you were there, but for some reason square bodies are attracted to the shop. It's rare when we don't have one in there. But right now it's only you. There is a guy at the instrument shop (not automotive instrument type shop) he's got an old 70's C20 that's had the snot beat out...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    That's a hell of long tow, but I do know a company that would do it. Then you'd just have to fly in when it's done! If I was a single man and didn't have to work a day job, I'd load my tools up and take a trip in the square down to see ya both. That would actually be a lot of fun. But since...

    New Tires, What should I do for wheels?

    WOW The price of wagon wheels must have gone up a lot in the last 20 years. The last set I bought cost about that much new. But ya, powder coating would sure be the way to go! Gotta share pics once they are done.

    New Tires, What should I do for wheels?

    My truck was missing three of the caps when I got it. I bought a set of 4 well used caps from someone on the forum in 2020 I think and they were cheap and tarnished. All I did was popped the worst of the dents out and polished them up. They now look work truck quality, as in good but not new.

    New Tires, What should I do for wheels?

    I like both the stock and the wagon wheel. Those are actually my 2 favorite wheels for these trucks. What I don't like is when someone sticks some modern looking wheel or an aluminum on, those wheels just look out of place to me, and they don't look like good work wheels. If you go with the...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Long drive for you in the square, I'd do it though I like being in the cab of my truck, a lot more than a lot of these modern cars and trucks for sure! For anyone interested the "basic forum discount" is 10% off parts and labor, but I ALWAYS work in more, shave a bit off the labor or do...

    Busted Alternator Bolt

    Not to speak for Rob, but the quick answer is it's still at my shop and we haven't gotten to it yet. We've been super backed up and I've been out a lot with some personal life stuff going on. Oh and BTW @RustyPile We do a special discount for forum members.

    Charcoal / vapor / evap canister, how it should be set up and other information

    @mjck5 I agree with Wayne, when you get the chance you should start a thread in the new members introduction area and post truck pic over there for us to look at! We like them in all conditions!

    Charcoal / vapor / evap canister, how it should be set up and other information

    @mjck5 I'm glad you found this useful and it's why I started it, there is about zip for info out there it seems. So that was one way the factory set them up was to split the purge line right before the canister to provide the canister with the manifold vacuum signal, and yes that's fine. That...

    1994 Dodge Ram Van 350

    Yep, it's the extended version 15 passenger 4 rows of benches. The back two are out and if I can find them in his mess I can have them, but I'll pull one more row out and see how that works out. It's just the two of us and the dogs, so that leaves room for a friend or two, or maybe I'll end up...

    1994 Dodge Ram Van 350

    I agree with your thoughts exactly. I have the 3.9 v-6 in my Dakota which is basically a 318 minus 2 cylinders. 450K on that motor I've done valve cover gaskets on it once. 96' Grand Cherokee has 375K on it's clock that the 318, both are the injected magnums. Dakota had it's tranny rebuilt...

    1994 Dodge Ram Van 350

    Oh I know it will be. I've had two in the past, I think the last one finished it's service around 99' or so. The first one was a 1977 Dodge Tradesman, a shorty panel van with the 318 that looked like the 70's inside. Honestly it was fun to bomb around in but I wanted something bigger, and...

    1994 Dodge Ram Van 350

    I keep saying I'll clear out some of the ccrap in my own pole building barn, so I can have an indoor space to work on my vehicles at, but it never happens, primarily because there's a lot of farm stuff that needs to be in there. In my case at least I can what's in my pole building is equipment...

    1994 Dodge Ram Van 350

    Well I didn't make any head way with his stuff today. IF I get lucky I might have a little time this afternoon, but I did do some work to the van. I drained the fuel tank, by pulling the shrader valve out of the pressure port, attaching a 5/16" fuel line to it and jumping across the relay...
