SOURCE: po456 evaporative emission system leak--- check

Check your gascap, make sure it is tight. Check your PCV valve and look at large hoses going to a canister. This code means you are not getting the proper vacuum in the system that vents your gastank or engine.

I have a 2003 Chevy silverado and I'm getting a p0455 code, what's does that mean

P0455 Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak)
The large leak detected could be in a hose or connector leading to the front under the hood evaporative canister.

It is not a loose gas cap, though.

What does po440 on a 2003 saturn vue mean with a service engine soon light on

That is a problem in the evaporative emission control system.
Could be anything causing it
Clogged filter in the charcoal canister
A leak in one of the vacuum lines
The purge valve not working,,,etc.
The best thing is to take it and have it checked out, they might have to do a smoke test to find the problem.
All they do is inject smoke into the system, if there is a leak the smoke will come out of it. All it takes is a pin hole in these emission systems to screw it all up.

At least the cap isn't loose for the gas tank.

I would clear the code with an OBD-II Scanner 'erase code' button, and see how long it takes for it to come back.
