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.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I agree, there is no one answer fits all as every rig is different, one may be pulling some little aluminum fishing boat while another is towing a monstrosity that weighs a lot and hopefully the owner if the rig has some prior experience to know what drive mode they should choose.    It also struck me and this is from watching a few of those boat ramp escapades videos in the past, Ford being one of the vehicles that has the auto front axle hubs and sure enough its found out that one hub has crapped out and won't engage and may not have manual hubs to even select on both sides so they are on the boat ramp stuck with no four wheel drive and spinning .... they flat out need a tow to get up the ramp and deal with the vehicles new found issues. That can happen to all brands of pickup, finding out either four wheel drive or 4 low isn't working right at the time its needed it to work as some electronic crap has failed.

      Its possible you never had the joy of the crappy boat launches we tend to have around here or really some of them are just grades down to the river if its a river scenario and the conditions change all the time with the river levels and silt deposits. Some of the lakes we went to years ago, there was no such thing as a cement pad that went down into the water that the trailer stayed on, it was gravel maybe up to the water line and then duck crap much beyond that so sinking the boat tires into mud. Of course some of the more established lakes had a cement bar type boat ramp but sometimes it was covered in green slime closer and certainly within the water and a two wheel drive had all sorts of fun if one had to touch that slime with the rear tires.    A neighbor of mine had made a comment years back with his chev truck that was probably about the same year as yours but a half ton extended cab 4x4 and he a a fiberglass boat with an inboard so it wasn't a feather weight and he had gone out to one of the large popular lakes in the area and don't ask me how this happened but he was in two wheel drive as he figured he didn't require four wheel drive for that boat ramp and somehow upon pulling the boat out he twisted one of his drive axles. I suspect it must have spun and then grabbed on the cement ramp and shocked it to the degree of twisting it. He would have had the standard 8.5 or whatever it was axle housing as the 9.5 ring gear like my truck has also has larger drive axles as far as I know. Anyway he was feeling a vibration driving home and had it checked out and a shop found that the tire/hub was wobbling because of the axle had twisted so in went a new drive axle. After that bad experience he said he made sure to put it into four wheel drive to lower the stress on the rear axle. Of course that is where an HD truck can handle a lot more stress and no doubt these newer half tons with their larger ring gears probably have larger drive axles as well to match vs back in the day.

      Desirable - as in does someone WANT one, aspire to have one. Could reasonably buy any car they want and CHOOSE these instead.    I didn't watch the video, why did they win?

      The use of absolutes like "always" to describe gear selection, and giving free advice at a boat ramp sounds like a recipe for disaster. It's a boat ramp, not a farm, for starters.   IMO gear selection should depend on the obstacle. If low range is working and this is a slower speed, controlled ordeal, I'd keep using that.

      I had a boat for many years, never had a problem even with a 2 wheel drive 93 Silvy for 20 years. Good tires, proper use of the gas pedal worked.
