For my "new" 1986 Toyota pickup SR5 Xtra cab 4x4 Turbo
- should have known it would be hard to come across one, even for sale?

 

I've been using the manual linked below (pdf).
It's not complete, but not bad for free.

Cheers

 

Thanks for the link, this is amazing. Been watching some on ebay but this is way more in my price range, hah.

 

Weird, I used the steering section and now it won't let me access any other section. What gives?

 

I just tried to use that link. I opened the first page, introduction, and was locked out as soon as I tried to open the next one??

 

Just happened to me.

Best to have exact year pdf or hard copy because some parts are different. Differences I've spotted so far between 1986 ( I have hard copy) and 1988 (I have PDF):
CSI control on 1986 is solely from CSI timer switch. On 1988 ECU can energize CSI, too.
Fuel pump test connector on 1986 bypasses the AFM contacts (jumps to ground to energize the COR coil), while on the 1988 it jumps B+ directly to Fuel Pump-bypassing the COR contacts.
I don't know about the 1987.
1989 to 1995 are more varied and confusing - LOL!

 

Hello All,

My name is Mike and I'm new here and have used this forum to find great info on my two Toyota rigs (1994 Pickup 2WD/Ext Cab and 2000 4Runner SR5).

I have stitched together, from various resources, a 1990-1995 Pickup FSM. It is not indexed, however, so it could be cumbersome to use but I believe it to be complete.

Here is the link (it is about 100MB):

https://www.csobeech.com/files/1990-...Pickup_FSM.pdf

and here is a link to an indexed version but he doesn't have 22RE engine info in it. My link above does have the 22RE engine section.

I'm just completing a complete top overhaul of my 22RE engine which blew out it's head gasket in the deep cold of Wisconsin winter and waiting for the LCE headers (5 week wait when they told me initially they were in stock )

I was hoping to find a 4WD specimen, however, a good friend of mine was selling his 2WD Texas truck with pristine underbody and frame. I put a TrueTrac posi rear end in it which gives me a fighting chance in the snow.

I hope that I'll be able to make a contribution to the community as I learn more about my Toyota rigs.

All for now,

Mike

 

Ebay has them all the time. Got mine when I bought my 86 new. Worth the cost. This one is a good price but not all the info.

This is the full maunal

If you plan on keeping the truck it's worth the price. They won't get cheaper over time.

 

nice! Auto dim rear view? Back up camera? TPMS in the entertainment center. We love our trucks don’t we?

 

Yeah jrhende, I wanted the truck to be a comfortable and as modern as possible daily driver.

The auto dim rear view is a retrofitted GM mirror with compass and temp. I liked the result so much I also fitted my 4Runner rig with one. In Wisconsin it's important to me to know when the temps are approaching 32°F to be more cautious regarding ice.

The infotainment system was a little tricky getting it to lay properly in the opening, with patience, I prevailed. With a pair of 6" speakers in the rear side cubby compartments, the sound is quite decent for runs to the dump with reno trash and Home Depot trips to pick up materials.

I was able to get low cost new 16" Jeep Liberty 2002-2007 steel rims with the same bolt circle to work on the truck with a pair of 1.5" wheel spacers for the front and I used 1" spacers on the rear to get as close as possible to the wheel well. With a rear sway bar, Billies and 235/60R16 Ohtsu FP7000 tires she corners really nicely.

Anyone looking through the photo album that has questions on any of my mods, feel free to reach out. Happy to share and contribute to making other trucks nice.

Mike
