Tethered gas/fuel cap? Yes!
Thought i would post this for the many that dont have a tethered gas cap. Last thing you need is a misplaced gas cap or one that rolls under a passing car at the gas station. Happens quite often if you live in the windy city ;)

(Sorry, having issues loading pics)

Found one at Napa auto parts for $18. Ebay and other places might have it for much cheaper.

Napa part number #703-1895

Hope some find this useful, good luck!

That was actually my first “mod” within a week of owning the truck. The original cap looked like it had seen better days beside the missing tether, and after reading some of the code related issues a bad cap can cause, I decided to order a replacement OEM cap from Amazon. Sometimes it’s “the little things”...

I'm confused...don't they all just fit in the fuel door? At least mine does. Hang it there every time. Just wondering.

yeah, there's a spot on the fuel door where the gas cap goes during fueling.

After 8 months, 2 failed gas caps from napa auto parts, and 1 gas cap seal replaced (all under warranty from napa) my dash light kept coming on periodically through the fall, winter, and spring in the Chicago areas.

I finally gave up and paid for a toyota gas cap. Its been 2 months and there have been no issues.

If anything comes up, I will report back.

Good luck!

The OEM gas cap, with tether, can be had on Amazon for $15.
