  • Dryer 4 wire to 3 wire conversion?

    I need to switch my dryer from 4 wire to 3 wire in order to fit the outlet at my apartment. I tried searching past answers and couldn't find a good one regarding my question.

    When I convert to 3 wire do I put neutral and ground on the same terminal? Or am I just confused and there will be no neutral wire just 2 hots and a ground?

  • Belt squeal but only on first start?

    00 VW Gti 1.8T

    I believe the belt is squealing but this only happens on the first start of the day. I can start the car shut it off then restart it and the noise will go away. That seems odd to me because if it were the belt wouldn't it squeal all the time? Only when engine is cold and on the first start.

    The belt looked good to me, no cracks at all.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Air coming from oil cap, good or bad?

    I went to look at a car to purchase today. 2000 VW GTI 1.8T 5 speed.

    I pulled off the oil filler cap to check for smoke. I heard that smoke or "blowby" coming from the cap is bad. The car was still cold when i did this. No smoke came out but a ton of air was.

    Should i be worried if it's just air with no smoke?

    Does it matter that the car wasn't warm yet?

  • Forearm pain near wrist, What is causing it?

    My left forearm which isn't my dominant arm. About an inch from my wrist. On my radius not ulna. It is slightly swollen and just a tiny bit red. It is a little tender to the touch. It hurts when I move my hand certain ways especially under any load, like holding a clip board.

    I don't remember doing anything to hurt it.

    About 3 days ago it started hurting out of the blue. I thought it was a bruise. The last couple days have been a bit worse than the first.

  • Oil leak 87 camaro sport?

    I noticed a small drip, mainly while the car was running, about 2 weeks ago. I changed the oil last week drove it home and then was out of town for a week so it didn't move. I started the car today to see if i could find the leak and a solid stream is now coming out while idling. I found out it's coming from somewhere under the distributor cap.

    What could this be? I've heard that a typical problem is the pressure sending unit, but the only time my idiot light has come on is when i hit the breaks pretty hard, then it turns off.

    Where is the pressure sending unit and what could this leak be from?

    Thanks

  • Racing with aftermarket rims?

    My friend has a Mazda rx8 40th anniversary edition. It's nice and fast. My bud is a pretty crazy driver, weaving traffic and getting into races. He is constantly pushing his car to it's limits.

    Today we went and bought some adr venomous rims to put on his car. The rims match the stock size (18") and he is planning on putting his high performance tires on them from his stock rims. I was wondering if he should have any reason to be concerned about problems with his aftermarket rims. Things such as the tire blowing off in a hard turn or the rims not being able to hold up during the massive amount of force he puts on them from racing and driving so crazy. And high speeds~ 100mph and much higher?

    Thanks
