    3” lift, black step bars, aftermarket wheels, LT305/55R20 was this way when I brought it.
    Now twice I have seen a puff of white smoke (small amount) when I start my Tundra anything to worry about? It has 78k miles on it but has only done it twice that I have noticed

    This is just normal condensation that builds up in your exhaust system.

    Heavy white smoke is a different diagnosis.

    Lost track after #1.
    Here's the difference. The smoke is from a head gasket that was repaired and is burning off the coolant left over in the engine. It eventually gets to condensation and then nothing.

    Could also be oil is over filled.

    Change your oil recently?

    Both times we have had heavy due lots of condensation thanks for the info. Also my head gasket is fine and oil is good.
