Aux Tank Removal to replace Evap Canister
I have the LRA 12.5 Gallon Aux Tank, built in early 2018, so it may be an older version.
I was getting the following Codes repeatedly, in addition the 4LO and Trac lights came on which prevents switching between 4WD Lo to Hi or vis a versa depending ion which one you are in
I assumed it was the Evap/Charcoal Canister discussed in this thread, part #77740-60471 Anatomy of P0456 - Small Evap Leak - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/anatomy-of-p0456-small-evap-leak.1279152/
I wanted to try a few easier things before dropping the tank, which I knew would be several banana job
@TeCKis300 generated the above thread and several others I found useful in this area. I first replaced the Charcoal Filter part # 77706-60040 and the Vent K&N 62-1020 vent filter. Mine was caked with dirt and had actually disconnected from the hose. This thread discusses the issue and fix. I did the filter because it was exposed to an open hose and fairly cheap while “I am in there”. You likely don’t need to replace the Charcoal filter.

TeCKis300 also did one on heat effects on the fuel system and fixes for that. I plan on adding those modifications after I complete this activity. DIY Fuel Heating/Boiling Mitigation - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/diy-fuel-heating-boiling-mitigation.1318529/
As mentioned, I changed the Charcoal FILTER (not canister) and the Vent line. I also replaced my Gas Cap part # 77300-06040 and the Vacuum Switching Valve part #25860-0S010 (VSV), the VSV was discussed in this thread The P0441 Thread - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/the-p0441-thread.1289965/
None of the above prevented the codes so I resigned myself to replacing the Evap/Carbon Canister. That job is complicated because I have a 12.5 Gallon LRA tank installed by Slee. After putting mine in the decided they wouldn’t do another 12.5 one in as it was a pain. Not 100% sure it was my specific tank, but Slee posted somewhere they did only 1 so I am ASSUMING it was mine. They still do 24 and 40 gallon tanks though.
Okay, time to do some research. I reviewed all the install threads here. The first linked thread by @TeCKis300 above with code P0456 was very helpful. I started posting in there, but was recommended to do a separate thread on the process.
I also reviewed @OTRAMM Youtube video on the tank install
This was very helpful as well, BUT I am removing someone else’s install to replace the canister and putting it back the way I found it
so good reference info but need to expect some things will be different.
In preparation I ordered this from Amazon to help get the tank up and down. Having a tool was recommended in one of the threads I linked
