I NEVER Expected It To START So Well! The $1 BMW X5 Runs AGAIN

Finally! The $1 BMW X5 is going back together. We got most of the cooling system wrapped up 2 nights ago, now I just need to install the rest of it, fill it with coolant, and put the rest of the engine bay back together. It was pretty warm in KS today so I could feel my fingers which translates to real progress for once! Plus I drive the X5 for the first time in a month, and get the dirt out from under it.
Winner must be in the US and pick up the car.

    Spot on. I actually have a dedicated bucket (and large drain pan) at the shop for exactly this purpose. Anytime i drain coolant it goes in the bucket, and right back in the car (if applicable) when I'm done with the job. Pro tip: When pouring out a jug of coolant, poke a hole in the bottom while pouring. It pours faster, and won't gurgle and splash all over😉 Pro tip #2: When pouring oil, hold the container so that the opening is on top. It pours faster, and won't gurgle and splash all over😉

    Having pulled old telephone wire bundles back in the day in old office building floors, the only hope you have is to try to flood the pipe with soapy or slipperly liquid. They used to use different types of slime to make the wire pulling easier, but over time the slime turns into more of a hardened glue. Even if that's not the case, one little twist or turn in the run can make the wire pretty well stuck for good, without some sort of friction reliever.
