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.

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.

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.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
