How to change charcoal canister and evap?

I got stands. Could probably borrow a jack. Do you need to lift it up ?

I have ramps I can back up on, but ya any extra room makes it easier

Ok. So is the fuel filter the charcoal canister or different parts? I only wanna change the one that’s potentially causing the pump to kick off

Yes completely different parts with different jobs. The common "clicking" at the pump issue is usually the black charcoal canister that gets clogged over time as the pellets absorb moisture and deteriorate. Fuel filter issues will affect your engine running, which I am assuming you're not experiencing?

and this one goes under the hood, I would do all 3 just for good measure

Forgot about that little guy, I assume it's the same on the truck engines as the LS3, bolted to the front of the passenger side head?

it's $200 in parts, you could try just the canister or just the vent valve but it's a gamble
in my opinion the shot gun approach is a one and done.

Don’t think so…. Seems to run like a top. Only issue I have is sometimes on that first pull when I take off in the morning… power delivery feels a bit uneven but other than that it runs fine. Could just be me too… I think it’s fine tho. No CELs.

Think I’ll try the canister first…

intake I believe but yes, it's $27 I would do it anyway, but that;s just me, it's like only replacing one hub instead of both

Agreed, replace it all and be done with it for years.
