I only have the issue at one station. The fix there was to hold the handle sideways with the hose pointing towards the rear tire. Frustrating until I figured out this trick.

Search on youtube.com under "gas fill problems" Usually it is the vent control solenoid that is at fault.

I've had issues with some pumps in cold weather on previous vehicles. It generally helped to pull the pump out as much as possible so its not all the way in but not far enough out where it would fall

I believe it's a GM issue with the way the neck goes to the tank. I have the most issues at pumps with worn out nozzles. The station by my house I have to hold the nozzle while I pump because the nozz

I fixed mine today check your vent hose that runs from the filler neck to the tank and see if it has a kink in it. If it does that's the problem, I cut 2" off of the hose and straightened it and reinstalled and that fixed it I put 24 gallons of fuel in about 2-3 min. Fixed!!

I got my truck back from the dealer for this issues and the paperwork/ the service writer stated that their was a debris stuck inside the hose I guess causing the issue. I don't believe that but as long as the tech fixed the issue is all I care. Pumped gas and no issues yet.

It has improved but it still happens but not a lot before the tech did what they did. I went back for the driver seat moving around, they shimmed it or something and also complained about the gas tank issue. My service writer stated they are going to replace the gas tank so it's on order right now. They will call me when the part comes in and replaced the gas tank from what he explained to me.

Check the vent hose for a kink in it...It won't take much to disrupt the air flow to vent the tank properly. Not sure why the dealers are relpacing the fuel tank.

Yes make sure to check the hose changing the tank won't fix the problem or atleast it didn't with mine. Theye "removed the tank and blew all the vent hoses out. Problem solved.

Dropped of my truck today, I check with the service writer and he stated yes they are replacing the gas tank. I wish I knew more details what's wrong with the gas tank but the tech is installing a new gas tank for sure. Coming from the service writer.

With mine, if I put the nozzle all the way in, it would shutoff every $1.50-$2.00, on most pumps. I have been dealing with it, just have to remember to put it all the way in and pull it back out about 1/2".

I know if I hit a freak gas station with real good pump pressure these trucks do not like it.

 

I have to slow it down a bit.

 

I did have one issue with my 2014 once it kept shutting off so I assumed it was full and when I got back in it was at half.

 

Went to a different station and it filled right up. I just assumed the pump I was at had an issue and was kicking off to easy.

 

It only ever happened the one time. I was back at the same station using the same pump with no issues but I have no idea they may have fixed the pump.

Not sure if I updated but my dealership replaced my fuel tank last tear and fixed all my issues. No more pump trigger going off now

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
