My Clock Changed

I just noticed it this morning, but it's now displaying an hour later than the actual time! I know the time was supposed to change this past weekend and maybe that's when it happened, but can't be for sure. Our these truck set up to automatically set the correct time? Maybe through On-Star or XM? Just curious as this seems odd.

Your radio has the date all build in also. The software in your radio probably was written before the new "Daylight saving time" time.

 

I don't know if GM can fix that without replacing the whole head unit.

Neither did mind... my 07 NBS was built in March 07... New daylight savings time was announced in Late 06 just as the NBS where rolling off the lot.

Well, my truck build date is 04/07, so maybe I just got an older radio! Any idea what it's tied into? I did not renew my XM Satellite Radio, so I'm guessing it has something to do with On-Star... I do have the Bose System, would that make a difference?

Mine was built 01/07. No change on my clock. I don't have XM sat. but do have Onstar. Is the clock supposed to change to D.S.T. on it's own?

Y'all got me! I'm wondering the same thing. My wife's Acura is set up to automatically change between DST and Standard Time, but it's tied to the GPS. My truck doesn't have an OEM GPS. I also find it disturbing to learn that trucks built in April 2007 were affected, but others weren't! It will be interesting to see what happens this weekend...

If it were auto adjusting from DST to 'regular' time, it should be displaying 1 hour earlier than actual time, so maybe your day/date setting thinks its spring time and adjusted in the other direction? My truck was built in 05/07 and still displays the correct time/date.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
