[AT] Tractor hauler question.

[charlie hill]

My 06 GMC is setting a code for the evaporative system sensor now.  I 
haven't gotten around to figuring out what it is yet.  Could be anything 
from a bad gas cap to the canister to a filter or the sensor it's self.  I 
forgot the # of the code it's setting.  I'll have to re-check it to find 
out.
