Thats what I did for the issues I was experiencing,
I never had a problem until a few years ago with the new vented caps.On another forum a guy speculated that a few years ago EPA required stronger springs. I dont know if thats true but what I found is that the new vented caps do not vent properly for my truck

Some suggest drilling a hole in the cap. Im not making any recommendations

If you have an original nos cap you should probably use it. I believe the NOS caps work. If I had one I would use it.
The cap In that video is from autozone part CST 6023
