problem #1

Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 56,879 miles

EISM (Evaporative System Integrity Module) that sits on top of the gas canister on top of the tank was broken. I found that the system came like that. It seems since it is plastic and seal with a rubber ring the vibrations breaks it at the neck. I replace that module an it work fine for about 4 months. I also notice that there is no vacucum when you open the gas cap. After a while the "Check Engine Light" comes on. There is a leak in the system an it needs to be placed under a smoke machine to find the leak. Since Im retired Im unable to have the funding for repairs. The "mending solution" is to disconnect the battery erase the code an keep on trucking. After 20 or so starts the light comes on.
