    :confused:Can there still be some issue with my taco even though no codes come up?

    Have little over 101k
    Jus did tranny service..
    Of course I hear the typical clicking on the engine..
    But noticed coolant res. Is below "full" line when cold but when engine is heated it's back up to full .
    I also get white smoke when I start truck out the exhaust . But once temp goes up the smoke clears

    I obviously don't know a damn thing bout cars lol

    Yes there can be. The OBD system that gives you the check engine light and codes is monitoring certain sensors. If the problem is not something monitored, such as a blown head gasket, you will not get a code. The fluctuation in the coolant bottle and steam coming out of the tail pipe on cool/cold days is not uncommon. I would be concerned if the coolant was progressively getting lower. But the bottle is there for the expansion/contraction you are seeing. I would just keep an eye on it.

    Cool man I appreciate your time for a response
    I don't notice any leaks just happens to pop the hood and noticed coolant level was below full but after playing basketball I checked again (3hrs later) I fell engine bay warm and coolant was on the full line
    But I will keep an eye out
