Dropped transmission pan replaced filter and 5 quarts worth of pan oil. 06 f150 can't drain torque converter. And flushed radiator.

I'm not lucky enough to have a shop yet but I do have a "tool room" any ideas tips and pointers would be great. This is my set up so far.

Picked up at Sams club half off. Only paid $10. Anybody have these? How do you like them?

I pulled mine out to inspect it first then put it back in. I have to go get a replacement in a day or two. You can pull it out and look then just put it back in until you get a replacement. I would say its a sure thing you will need to replace it. But then again I figured you would have mineral...

You may can go straight down beside the water pipe with an extension. If not the water pipe will have to be moved.

Hopefully there are still replacement parts. The anode rod is fairly long and I believe can vary in length. Hopefully all will go smoothly for you. I had to use an Impact wrench to get mine broke free.

Just tried looking at the Apollo systems. Maybe you have a powered anode which does not need replacing but I'm not familiar with that system. I'm sure somebody on here has the same setup you do. Or maybe google your model # and see.

On top of your tank should be a 1 1/16 looking bolt head. Drain a little bit of water out then pull that out. That's the anode rod. If it's less than about 1/4 inch or so you need a new one. Rust attacks that instead of your tank. Unless your tank is glass lined in which case I have no...

:bounce::bounce: yep. Either no cabinets or they're junk.

That is odd I would figure there would be lots of build up. Did any water come out the spigot? How's your anode rod look?

Times two

I actually removed the spigot after I drained the water out. Then use a bucket instead of water hose. Flush with fill line and use your finger to keep drain hole open. Took a little while but eventually deposits quit coming out. Now I have to replace anode rod as mine is about a 1/16 of an inch...

Flushed out the water heater today. This is the calcium build up I removed.
