They need to test the evap solenoid under the hood for being stuck closed. Common cause of this issue. I'm surprised they didn't start there first. Also ask them if all the charcoal was in the canister they replaced. If not, then the lines need to be blown out and could be limiting flow to the evap solenoid on the intake.

Welcome to the forum. Like @B-train said, there are some inspections to be done and hopefully some codes were/are present to help point in the right direction. Were there codes or at least a CEL?

Bring it back and ask if they blew out the charcoal from the lines all the way up to the top of the engine. If you do not trust their work, bring it to another dealership. The work is warranted nationwide.

It's the other end of the canister that will affect fueling - especially the line to the evap vent valve at the rear of the truck. Having said that, all of the evap lines that are around the tank and canister must be open inside. You could also have a defective filler tube; lots of items to inspect and test.

EDIT: and be sure to turn off the truck when fueling; that will command the evap vent valve to open with the ignition off.
