Looking for some advice. I've got a 2010 5.7L Ram TRX. 3-4 months ago the gas cap light came on and after some research, replaced the cap with a new one and the light went off. A couple days ago, it came on again and also the check engine light as well. The codes indicated the gas cap again, so, frustrated that the one I had bought only a few months ago had already failed, I purchased another. Light went off for about 1/2 a day and then came back on with the check engine light as well. Has anyone else had anything similar? I haven't found any other threads on this topic as yet.

This is a forum for the newer 5th gen TRX with the 6.2L Supercharged Hemi, but from what I remember on the 3rd gens is that the breather tube on the filler neck can crack and cause this code. Check into that. Also go to Ramforum.com and do a search on gas cap light or gas tank breather tube.

Thank you. I was wondering if something like this might be going on. Also, didn't realize this forum was for newer models only. I'll try to find one for my year. Thanks again.

sorry if that came off as I was shunning you away, not the case. Just that you will most likely get more answers on Ramforum
