Why are you blowing money on gas caps man? One would have been sufficient. If it's not working a different brand name won't make much difference. A PO442 can also be caused by the EVAP canister or hose cracked or not connected, Purge or vent solenoid defective, Vaccum leak at engine. I had that code when I got my blazer. A once a month treatment with a QUALITY gas system cleaner cleared it up for me. If yours is failed however it may mean removing something and cleaning it (if it's gunked up) or replacing the part entirely.
I don't remember what I spent exactly, but a good and COMPLETE tune-up should be more than this much. It is a lot cheaper to do it yourself though (damn that #3 plug).
