During the summer and warmer days my 2014 sierra fuels up fine, now that its cold out the pump kicks out over 10 times every fill, i have tried going to multiple different gas stations. Poor tank design? or does mine have an issue? thanks

Mines the opposite. It will kick out on the warmer days, something to do with the hot gasoline fumes. Try pulling the gas pump out of the filler neck a couple inches to let the fumes escape. Other than that I couldn't tell you what else it could be

this is typical of GM vehicels. You have to sometimes pull the nozzle out a little or shove it in further to get to the right spot.

 

exactly... I have to back mine out a little to get it to stay on.

it has something to do with the anti cyphon system. The fords ive had no issues. Chevys, which has been 4 of them in the last 8 years, some worse than others, but all have had it. It also is compounded by different pumps, they must be dialed in to go off at different pressures. In one of my chevys Ive actually had instance where I had to leave the station, couldnt get more than a gallon into it. At the end of the day, I just find it to be a qwerk of the vehicle, nothing that really ruins my ownership. What I find more of irratant is the fact that GM hasnt gone to a gas cap less filler nozzle like ford.

hahhaha, I thought I was either too stupid to do this correctly or just a random occurrence. But this does happen to me more than I would like to admit. I constantly have to play with the pump my either putting it in all the way or backing it out until it stays on. Its annoying to say the least and really only made me angry this morning when it was 20 degrees out and I could not get it to stay on.

Same thing happens with my Silverado, I figured it was because it was lifted and the angle was bad but it looks like its a common theme. As with most other problems in life, just pull out to avoid any major annoyances.

Realize this is an old thread, but I too was wondering if others are experiencing this. It absolutely drives me crazy! I'm standing in the cold/rainy/snowy/windy elements trying to get gas and the damn pump won't stay on! First world problem for sure, but I've NEVER had an issue with any other brand of vehicle (Mercedes, Hyundai, Lexus, Toyota, Ford, Honda, etc.).

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
