Hello

I have a 2018 GMC sierra 3500

Just had plow and salter installed-Before I had it installed I used my Verizon WIFI unit, after picking up the truck the wifi registers in the truck but when I go to use the apps on the truck it says no internet.

The truck shows connected to the wifi but nothing works

1. the plow installer did disconnect the battery

2. The truck is Brand new

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!!!

Do you have a data plan?  Did you set up a password for your truck WiFi?  If so has the password been entered on Cell Phone to connect to the designated truck connection.  Since the truck WiFi is basically a WiFi Hot Spot it must have a good AT&T cell signal to work.  Contact On Star for help.

I was told by OnStar that their data plans were through AT&T.  Since I have AT&T my data plan was just added to my Cell Phone Bill.  I would still contact OnStar for assistance.

It sounds like you are trying to connect your truck to your Verizon stand-alone WiFi hot spot.  Questions:

- Can any other device connect to it?
- Why do you have this device instead of just using a WiFi hot spot on your phone?

Ok so GMC replaced the radio back in Dec-Everything was working fine... then

last week I had some lights put on the truck and guess what...after disconnecting the battery the wifi is not working again

Radio says when I start its connected to my wifi and the wifi shows the connection to the truck but when I do the apps its says no internet connection

I really don't want to go back to the dealer, but is this something that will happen when the battery is disconnected? if so this is a really big flaw in the system.

Curious what the dealer did here? I disconnected my battery and now I get “no internet connectivity” as well on my radio screen. 

 

The wifi feeding my phone works fine though.

Hello Forum!!

I realize this thread is getting a little old but I did not find any follow up when searching.

I have a 2018 Colorado and after replacing the battery I have experienced the same problem as the original poster (and previous post).

Radio shows WiFi connected but the Apps say no internet ... check WiFI ... etc ...

 

I was wondering what the final resolution was?? Did you guys get another radio from the dealer ... just living without it ... or what??

 

Thanks in advance ... (posting as a guest) ... ?

My 2017 Silverado just did this after battery replacement in regard to the radio WiFi. Ever find a solution?  Thank you

Welcome to the site.

 

What have you tried so far to fix it? Maybe disconnect the negative cable on your new battery for a few minutes, hook it back up and see what happens?

I am having the same issue with my 2020 Sierra 1500.  I pay monthly for the Wi-Fi from AT&T. My phone connects fine to the trucks router, but there is no internet signal once connected.  While driving, the screen displays a message requiring me to enter my password to continue online services, and when password is entered, it advises invalid password.

I have had it in to the dealer with no success.
I spoke with OnStar, who manually reset my password for me, which also did not solve the problem.  I disconnected the battery overnight, and still no success.  

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

it is a amazing so many people have this issue but no one has a solution that works.

2017 Silverado here with new battery and same issue. I connect to hotspot but "Network difficulties are preventing this page from loading" I can connect to the Silverado hot spot and get internet access but not from the truck radio. The truck can connect to my home network bur I get the same message about page not loading. 

 

Such a common issue should have an easy solution.

 

What did not work...

1. Turn radio off and open drivers door for 5 minutes. Close door and start truck 

2. Press and hold the Home button and FF but at the same time for 10 seconds.

3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal for 30 seconds then reconnect.

4. Restore factory defaults through the Settings menu on the radio.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
