Group, I have had problems with nozzles getting stuck while trying to get gas. I had a 14' 4dr sport with this issue and now have the same problem with 17' same basic truck. I have this issue in CA when traveling there. I live in NV but travel all over CA and only have the issue there. anyone else seeing this

Its a known issue, however I myself have never had this problem. Its a weird angle yes but I just go easy and its fine.

Yea california does have other equipment on the gas pump nozzles. Its to keep vapors from escaping. I had the same issue on my 14 1500 and my 06 GTO. its a pain but i live in CA nothing really to do.

Thanks

I live in California too, I haven’t had the nozzle get stuck yet, just an awkward angle inserting. I’m more concerned with rubbing or scratching the nozzle on the paint above the gas door.

Common in Ca depending on how old or new the dispensing gun is. BUT, the design of fuel intake could have been better on the 2500. Showed my wife how to handle, and it does take a slower more careful insertion.

I've had the issue a few times and they've all been at Costco. In fact Costco pumps just keep clicking off to the point where i say screw it and go somewhere else.

Same. First time I've had to grab the attendant to help me out. A little humiliating.

Yup, fueled up at AM/PM Arco this morning and it went flawless, no issues at all. Whatever Costco has done to their setup sucks and i won't fuel there any more.
