i noticed the same thing on my '10. I pulled the nozzle out half way and then it worked. I think the fuel nozzles get finicky in the cold weather. I dont have any trouble unless its really cold out.

 

I tried posistioning the nozzle several times while filling up. The dealership told me that the fuel tank vents into some kind of cylinder (can't remember the tecnical name) and they sometimes have issues with it. Either mud, snow etc. and they have to drop the tank and replace this thing. Does this make any sence? It wasn't the pump, I filled up today at a different place and it wasn't quite as bad, but was still way slower than normal.

 

I wonder if the filler neck on yours had those clips break on it making the ordeal complicated?

Outside of that, I've not driven mine in snow yet. We had our first array of it today which amounted to a dusting and it will be gone tomorrow with highs in the 60's. Guess I'll face this and the shifting problem when snow is on the ground.

 

i had the same issue with the dak (08) no matter what pump i went to eventually after month it just stopped IDK never had it looked into any further

 

Canadian Dakota you traiter even postin in here now? lol think your name tags gonna have to change! lol but i never had this problem kinda weird though!

 

Well it sounds like you better take a trip to your stealership and have it looked at then.

 

I booked an appointment at the stealership (i like that) for next Thurs. will post results.

 

Absolutely yes, let us all know what the result/outcome is and what they did to fix it

 

Just to update on my filling issue. Since the weather has warmed up considerably I have not had any problems filling up. Dealership tells me that they have had the same issues with other trucks that have a lot of snow and ice build up under them in very cold weather and that for sure it was the tank vent freezing. They did not know however why my cruise control decided to not work for a couple days then started working (cruise light would come on when set but wouldn't engage). Maybe like me it just needed a rest?????

 

Out here in Alberta Canada we just came out of a few weeks of -20 to -30 degree weather with lots of snow. No issues with filling up on my truck!
