| anode rod | When used in a water heater, an anode rod attracts corrosion causing
products in the water. These products attack the anode rod instead of
the metal tank itself. The anode rod should be inspected yearly and
changed when it is reduced to about 1/4 of its original size. The rods
are used in steel water heater tanks: an aluminum tank has an inner
layer of anode metal to accomplish the same thing. Anode rods should
not be installed in an aluminum tank.

| axle ratio | The ratio between the pinion and ring gears in the differential that
multiply the torque provided by the engine. It is the number of drive
line revolutions required to turn the axle one time. For example, with
a 4.10:1 axle the drive line turns 4.1 times for each full axle
revolution. The higher the number, the more torque and thus more towing
power. However, higher axle ration also mean less speed.
