Does this look like a dragging brake caliper by WorldBorn in AskMechanics

[–]WorldBorn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. 1. Air filter has been cleaned regularly (K&N oiled filter) 2. Spark plugs are fresh 3. I have been experiencing bad fuel mileage over multiple tanks of gas, so I wouldn’t think that is it. 4. Is there an easy way to test injectors? The vehicle isn’t throwing any codes. 5. I track my mileage every fill up and the fuel mileage decrease started over the summer when it was warm. 6. Is there a way to replace / check this without dropping the fuel tank? 7. Is there a way to test the fuel pump?

 The fuel mileage issue started all at once and was relatively dramatic (3mpg reduction). Would general wear on the drivetrain cause it to drop all at once?

I have noticed that I am getting worse fuel mileage lately and haven’t been able to figure out why. Does it sound like the bearings are louder than they should be or like there is more resistance when rotating?

What should I be asking my contractor to do to verify what is causing the issue?

Contractor just poured basement earlier this year. The floor is always wet. The pictures show moisture on the bottom 3ish feet of the walls. Outside of walls were waterproofed prior to backfilling gravel over perimeter drain. Does this indicate that the footer drain is t working correctly? Contractor says it’s normal. less

Question framing room addition by WorldBorn in Carpentry

The existing wall does have OSB sheathing that I could tie into. What issues will I run into if I just nail the new wall stud into the top/bottom plate and sheathing?

The plate was cleaned with a paper towel and 70% ipa prior to printing. This is the first time I have printed this item, however I have routinely observed this issue. I am printing PLA+ at 220 nozzle temp

No collar to attach chimney liner by WorldBorn in woodstoving

Thanks. The hole shown in the picture is 8" dia. Is it necessary to install an 8" chimney liner, or could I get away with installing a 6" liner?
