fuel tank excessive vacum pressure
#1

The caps on these fuel systems have been completely sealed for quite some time.
If there's vacuum OR pressure, something is wrong with the evaporative emissions system.
Can you scan for codes with an OBD-II/CAN scanner? Autozone or some other local parts store might have something you can borrow for a few minutes.
Record all the codes (if any) and report back. There might not BE any, but it's worth a shot to check.

Sounds like either the charcoal canister is clogged, or the solenoid isn't activating. I don't know a whole lot about what the later trucks have for evaporative emissions.
But usually what happens is when pressure in the tank builds up, it feeds a charcoal canister that collects the vapors. When the engine is running, the computer opens a solenoid (purge valve) between the canister and the intake manifold to suck the vapors out of the canister - a "purge".
If the engine is off, and there is vacuum in the tank, something "ain't right"
