Clock Does NOT Keep Time

[Ravenkeeper]

So, today, after I got to work, I noticed that the clock on the truck was 15 minutes slow.  Reset the clock to the correct time.  Just a little bit ago, while I was out grabbing some lunch, I noticed that it was 20 minutes slow.  WTH?!!!!!!  I reset it AGAIN, before coming back into the hangar.

Rather than resetting it manually, next time just let it do itself through a couple of "drive cycles".

 

Mine does the same at times, but always resets itself.

Mine has only recently started doing this.  I'll let it go the rest of the week, and see what happens.  If it's still doing it when I take it in for service in the next couple weeks, may have them look at it.

I noticed my 2017 Sierra has done this on several occasions (<5) over the last 2 yrs.  It seems that it does this after the truck has been shut off for while and when you go to start it its wrong.  Later, its on time and you think you just made a mistake reading.   I wondered if it stopped keeping time when like you just arrived at your destination and sat there with key in ignition (listen to radio killing time) till it turned off automatically,  seemed to be when I noticed it.

What are your settings for time?
I believe there are options to pick up time from RDS (the data portion of many radio stations that send the station call sign and current song info) or from GPS/Cell service.

That is when mine does it.

They programmed that in there just to mess with you.  LOL

Last night, when I left work to go home, the clock was dead on.  On the way to work, it was fine.  Went to grab lunch tonight, little bit ago, and it was off by 10 minutes , while sitting watching NetFlix when I was eating my lunch.

Checked it at lunch, I am in Auto Set. 

 

Think it is just another weird trait of all the electronics that are in the trucks.

[RACERX7775]

Hmm. Weird. Mine has been on the same time as my phone everytime I have seen.maybw it has something to do with trucks that have and dont have gps?? Dunno.

I have GPS, it is an "almost" fully loaded LTZ.

 

Notice, how for the Hater Police Patrol on the site, I did not say fully loaded, short of rear DVD, and power assist steps, there is nothing the truck does not have.

 

This is my 3rd try with the K2, got to know the trucks pretty well (not by choice), so this something I can live with, still have warranty left, so I can take it in if I want, probably won't.
