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.).

      Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
