I've heard turning the nozzle upside down sometimes works.

I have has this same problem. It was actually a broken roll over ball valve. The dealership claimed that it was due to topping it off whel filling up.

Strange. I'd be looking at tank ventilation first.

I would check the ventilation or the check ball like the others have said. Either or are the culprit. Don't ever try to over fill it. One click and its done

I know topping off isnt hard for these trucks. Depending on the gas station I go to, when the nozzle clicks it is 100% full to the point where if I click it one my time to go to the next even cent, it will spill.
