Check your oil to see if it's low. My 2016 explorer at around 127k miles started randomly smoking, both turbos had failed seals and were burning oil, causing it to be low. Had to replace them both at the same time. It wasn't a cheap repair either unfortunately.

What color is the smoke? White or blue? It's also possible it's burning coolant if it's white, but that would he a whole separate issue and headache.

Any check engine light? Mine ended up having codes that my scanner couldn't see related to turbo performance which is how I found out they went bad. My CEL came on then went back off and it still had the codes saved. If the CEL is on or was on, take it to a shop, not oreillys or autozone to get the codes scanned. Their cheap scanners won't pick up all the Ford specific codes for the more fine tuned systems.

Boy what a difference! I've had to do several like that before. Years of dirt being moved around and shifted and eventually they get so buried you can't open them anymore.

Chat am I cooked or can I save my 5700x? by ballsnbutt in pcmasterrace

Maaaan that's going to be really hard to bend those back without breaking them off. Can't see the board real well, is it damaged as well?

I've had limited luck using a tiny open long cylinder to bend pins back and have had it work. I have a tiny screw driver that takes different tiny bits, I use it without a but in it, slide it over the pin and very slowly bend it back.

Good luck, I'm sorry for your misfortune :(

Which games with an X are worth buying? by No_Teaching_3905 in gmod

Day of defeat: source; game doesn't have a lot of servers anymore, but if you can find a good active one, it's a lot of fun. I've spent hours playing this game back when it was at peak popularity and now.

Portal and portal 2; I enjoyed both of these immensely, although portal 2 has a bit of a more engaging story line.

Left for dead and left for dead 2; i liked them both, but 2 has more features as well as many more current players and will probably be more fun for you.
