GM Genuine Parts 214-2149 (25932571) Vapor Canister Vent Solenoid

Perfect fit, works great.

Direct fit and easy install in factory location.

Excellent.

A needed part when replacing canister it restores function to the system. After replacement gas tank fill is restored without the pump cuting out every few seconds. Wotking well. Good price for gmc parts.

Amazon's fir algorithm said this won't fit a 2005 Colorado, and that's technically true but the thing fits really well. Here are the issues... First, you have to have the proper, oval-shaped electrical connector. Check; this one has it. And it has to fit the mounting bracket from the original. Check, it fits. Has to hook up to the hose that connects to the original. OK here's the difference. The original has a couple of barbs that hold it on; this one only has one. I tried a heat gun to soften the hose and pull it off, no joy. So I took an Xacto razor saw (a hacksaw would work as well) and cut the nipple off the old solenoid. Committed now :) I sprayed a little soapy water on the nipple on the new solenoid and (fitting a small hose clamp prior to this) slid the hose right on op to the boss on the nipple. It fit snugly, probably didn't need the hose clamp but used it anyway. Offered the whole thing back up to the truck, hooked up the two hoses you have to remove in order to get it out of the truck (squeeze those white release buttons and tug hard to pull them off), hooked up the electrical connector (fits perfectly) and you're off to the races. OK off to the races figuratively, not literally. This is a 2005 Colorado, after all :) BONUS - saved a wad of cash over the OEM recommendation on the GM site (and here). The only difference between this and that is the OEM one has a hose on it. But for a wad of cash I was just fine with putting the old hose back on, thank you very much :)

Fits 2007 Silverado Classic 5.3L Perfect !!! I needed a fix for my check engine light and "tighten fuel cap" message. This seems to be a very common problem with these trucks. I read mixed reviews about this item fitting a 2007 Silverado Classic with the 5.3 engine. After ordering to see for myself, this item is indeed the exact replacement and has fixed my check engine light and the "tighten fuel cap" message. You will need a few feet of 5/8" heater hose and 2 hose clamps to install this because the factory hose is shrink fitted and cannot be reused. First off, disconnect the battery. The canister is located on the back side of the gas tank. Remove the canister and disconnect the fitting on the other end of the hose. You will need to cut this fitting off the factory hose to reuse it. Attach the canister and fitting on to the new heater hose and install back on the truck. Reconnect the battery. The check engine light should reset after having the battery disconnected for long enough. I have not had another error since! Based on the research I have done, these canisters will go bad because of all the dust accumulated due to the factory location. If you want to spend a little more money you can get the updated part to fix this problem here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000S2SKIY/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER This part relocates the vent to where the dust should not accumulate as bad, therefore increasing the life of the canister.

After doing everything else for a recurring p0442 code, I ended up having to replace an aftermarket vent solenoid with the GM part and it cleared the code within 200 miles. Apparently the spec values of the evap system parts work best when only GM parts are used.... Save yourself the aggravation of a constant evap code and spend a little more to do it right! The fuel mix is back in check, mileage is back up and the tailpipe is much cleaner and free of soot. 2006 Silverado 4.3 with 271K miles
