Anybody Used/Like Alldata for Repair Manuals?
I was just noticing how expensive the Toyota factory service manuals are these days. And so I thought about alldata.diy.com. They are a source of online service manuals. If someone reading this has used both I'd like to hear how you think they compare. I find the Toyota EWD (electrical wiring diagram) manual really useful. Does Alldata have comparable wiring diagrams?

Mitchel has better diagrams, but nothing really beats the factory ones. I have the fsm for my generation of pickup and it blows the pants off of mitchell and all data.

It took me a couple of minutes but I was able to find Mitchell1-DIY. Is that where you find the good info? The subscription prices, at $25/yr, per vehicle, look reasonable.
I might have a job where I need both 4runner and Tacoma manuals and wiring info for late '99 models and I sure don't want to have to buy $500 or more, worth of paperback FSMs.

Right now I'm working with a late 1999 3.4 V6 (5VZFE) engine from an automatic 4runner and trying to see if I can swap it into an '89 4runner. I'd like to look at electrical details for automatic and manual 1999 and 2000 4runners and Tacomas.
Once I figure out what I really need I wouldn't be without the factory books.

For the Toyota option ($15 for 48 hours unlimited access) www.techinfo.toyota.com/
You can download all the EWD (Electronic Wiring Diagrams), Repair Manuals, Service Bulletins and a few other things that Toyota provides for their dealerships' service departments.
Go through and watch a couple of the tutorial videos, then when you have a couple of hours free for 2 consecutive nights, sit down (with a beverage of your choice) and start downloading all the relevant repair manuals and EWDs for the 2000 4Runner (or Tacoma, or both).
Unfortunately, I don't think they'll have PDFs for your '89; here's some of the wiring for an '88 which might be close enough: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f160...m-help-209237/

I've got all the Toyota FSMs for my '89 already though.
