White smoke from the exhaust like steam train

ok so here is the question? I just hit the 1 year mark on my LE and I have just short of 30K. I went in to have the 30K oil change and I also bought new rubber cause the falken suck...
as I was driving home 60 miles the truck was fish biting and felt like it was snagging up hills and losing power. I had to drive another 250 round trip and as soon as my wife got into the truck and I started it she said what's wrong with the truck. at a stop light the truck would shake till the hybrid kicked in. again up hills losing power and fish biting. called the dealership and he said bring it back down in the morning. they looked over it and saw that everything was plugged in. he drove it and could feel the fish biting and snagging. so I dropped it off on the Monday morning of the 28th of April funny enough the day I bought it in 24. when I pulled into the garage I cut it off and then started it back to roll up the window and that's when the white smoke started to poor out like a 20s steam engine, I have been in a rental ever since. still no word. anyone have this problem or know what it might be. I'm still waiting

 

Scary, cracked block or maybe head gasket leak?

 

Hadn’t heard the term fish biting before - that’s a new one to me but makes sense after a google search. Sorry to hear about your truck! I love to be my service advisor’s worst nightmare and call almost everyday after 4-5 business days or every day after the promised delivery date (I’ve had horrible luck with parts being on back order). I’d call for an update first thing tomorrow. The smoke thing kinda sounds like a head gasket but that’d be the first time I’ve personally seen anything about head gaskets going bad on a third gen. If they also did a rear diff fluid change, could be a bad diff, which has been a somewhat common problem. Best of luck!

 

ya my service manager didn't look very happy I'm in the rental till the 14th we will see

 

ya I didn't know what it was till he told me what it was time will tell I'm in the rental till the 14th

 

I saw this title and thought: “they picked the new Pope already?”

Edit: OP originally posted with title: “White Smoke”

 

This is exactly what I thought too!

 

so has anyone heard of this one yet coming from the 24 or other years? truck has been in the shop for over a week and this is the poss out come I just got. now I don't know too much about engines and all but this doesn't sound very good. this problem happened right after a oil change at the 30K mark

 

got word its a poss failed valve guide what ever that is

 

Ooof. Hopefully won’t have to be too invasive. I’d guess they’d just replace the valve guide and seal, maybe the whole head on that side (or both sides). Curious if the smoke was coming from coolant burning from overheating or oil making it past the valve guide seal, into the combustion chamber and thru ur exhaust.

 

Not a car guy, are ya?

 

Dammit, came here to make a “did you elect a pope” joke!!

Probably a bad turbo.

 

ok so here is the good news. after all the test and talking with toyota it all came down to the fact the teck put 2 exter quarts of oil in the truck. the exter oil went into the cylinder and thats what caused the engine fish bite and smoke. all is well and the truck is running great . i got lucky

 

Which is why I change my own oil...

 

So is the offending dealer going to cover the damaged catalytic converters that were compromised by excessive oil mist passing through that will probably set check engine light issues with catalyst deterioration fault codes down the road? As in fault codes P0420 and/or P0430.

 

When the dealer did my last free oil change at 20K miles, they put just under 9 quarts in. That was a tad over 1 quart too much.

 

I still want to know what “fish biting” is.

 

Man this thing called search is really cool!

 

You should have the place replace your spark plugs, I’d bet they’re fouled a bit after burning two quarts of oil.

 

thats a great question that i will bring up to my service guy. thank you

 

that two is a great question that I will bring up to my service man. thank you

 

You are way more generous than me, I'd be raising hell. Significant long term damage can occur with overfilling oil.

 

I have it in writing that there will be no long term damage to the truck or engine. my service manager stands by his word and he will fix anything that comes down the pipe. I'm hoping that there is no damage at all. time will tell. I would have been a ass but me and my service manager are tight. he got Toyota to pay for a 2500 bed cover so he is on my side. well for now

 

Sounds good. You do know your service manager is taking the senior service manager position at the local Ford dealer next week. His word in good today.

 

New Pope?

 

what do you mean he is leaving lololol
