Hi from Australia, I have a 2020 1500 crew cab 5.7lt. Refueling is a real pain it takes for ever to fill, keeps clicking off. Used to work fine now it’s very slow. Anyone found a solution?

Possibly a clogged charcoal canister, or less likely (due to it working in past) a kinked vent hose ( but check it all anyway, could be clogged). Charcoal canisters can get fuel in them in different ways such as if one keeps clicking the hose after the first shut off (i.e. trying to round out the number of litres/gallons put in or get to an even money amount).

@wobblyboots it could be a problem with the rollover valve in the fuel tank. The rollover valve help keep the fuel in the tank if the vehicle ends up on its side or top.
Is the truck in question pictured in your Avatar?

Do you ever wonder, "How the heck does this guy post this particular question in the Detailing subforum?"

Did it occur to you by reading my question I would like to know if he's asking about a Gen4 or Gen5 trucks so I would know which section to move this post into?

That doesn't actually matter. The answer is likely the same for most modern vehicles, regardless of make.

Smart people don't answer moderator's rhetorical questions..
