The other day, i turned on the truck as usual, and as soon as it fired up the Message "check fuel fill inlet" came up. Wtf. Googled the problem, suggestions are to spray a little bit of WD40 and stick the plastic filler tube in and out multiple times. did this procedure a couple of times….the warning light still comes up. any other suggestions?

It's the new check gas cap warning- your shit isn't sealing up right so it's failing the self test. Might just need to replace the filler neck/assembly. I don't think it's all that difficult to replace.

I think it actually works off of key starts. Mine did it once and I did the WD40 thing. Took about 3-4 days to finally reset. Warning lights drive me nuts though, so I feel your pain......
