Congrats. I like my 5th gens still. 15 plus year old Technology but still works fine.

We went to my buddy’s garage last night and went to install the new tire sensors but his tire machine won’t handle the 20” rim. We did find out that the rims have sensors already but they are the 430 frequency units for 2016-17, and are not compatible with a 2014 system. So we still need to install the 315 frequency units I bought. I have an appointment with a reputable tire shop to install them and balance the set tomorrow morning.

Oh, and the boy is having fun using that recording of the brake squeal as an “old person detector”. He played it for some coworkers at the office and no one over 35 could hear it.

Congrats on the car purchase! Looks real nice. My fist car was a '63 VW.
Funny trick to play on Sis, but it told you what you wanted to know! And yes, as we get older we lose the higher frequencies. I have a signal generator and now and then I test my hearing. Getting more difficult to hear above 14-15k. Even though I can hear it, the level that I hear it at is reduced. Probably too many times standing near the starting line and in front of too many concert PA systems.

Too many front row seats at those darn Lawrence Welk concerts back in the day! Man he could crank out some mean Polka music!

Success!. I went to the tire place today and they removed the old 430 MHz snsors and installed the 315 MHz sensors. They then removed the old stick-on weights and rebalanced the set. All the wheels then got calibrated according to their position on the car. So all is well now! And it turned 86,000 while I was pulling into the gas station to fill her up.
She sure does drive really nice now. (and yes they all read 37 psi by the time I got home) Last edited by njsteve; 07-15-2021 at 11:37 PM. |
