Too bad, GM owners' can't use the Big Truck Pumps!

[Chris N5CWM]

It seems the fellas driving the new GM diesel
trucks cannot fill up at the truck stops. The
nozzle is too big! And when some tried to
modify their trucks, the nozzle fit but they
could not pump the fuel at even half rate!
Here is the link for all the details.
Should we feel sorry for them? Naaah... #ad


Little nozzles only!

Man, I've been out in the middle of BFE and pulled into places that didn't have anything but the big truck nozzles. What would you do then? Buy a gas can and fill the can and then fill the tank from the can? Crappy design for sure.

The VW NB TDI that I just bought can take the big nozzle.

Ya know, when I first decided to by a diesel truck, I was real excited about the GM Duramax. The more research I did, my choice became quite evident that the Ram/Cummins was the only way to go! This fueling problem with the larger pumps is just another example, although a minor one.

Don't get me wrong! I sincerely hope that all of the Duramax owners have nothing but good luck with their pickups. We all spend a ridiculous amount of money on these trucks to wind up with a lemon!!!

Cuz VW knows that size matters.
