Complete 1986 Factory Service Manual for my Pickup



Cost me an arm and a leg at the dealership naturally, but It was WELL worth the investment. I'm quite happy, as it has all of the 22R-TE specs I couldn't find anywhere else.





On a more random note, I adjusted my valve lash today, and decided to paint the valve cover while I was at it. I replaced a few old hoses, but all I had lying around was some red silicone tubing. It matches the valve cover. I suppose I should re-do all of the hoses on the motor to match.

 

I have 2 FSMs and they both get used regularly...great investment!

 

Dude, that red paint adds like 5 HP, now you gotta get some TRD decals to add another 7!!!

hahahaha jk man looks good, how much does one of those bad boys run from the stealership?

 

Funny, my dad said the same thing. "Good, your truck will be faster now"

I ended up paying just under $170cad for the two. That's dealer cost up here. List price around here is closer to $220. They may be cheaper to buy down in the usa, plus the exchange rate will drop it a bit more. Still a fair chink of change though.

My Supra's TSRM (That's Toyota Service and Repair Manual for those guys with newer vehicles) I ended up getting on ebay for like $35. I wasn't so lucky with this one.

 

nice. vc looks good but stock black hoses look better imo

 

phew, that's an expensive paper-back book!

very nice though

 

Books are EXPENSIVE!!!! My books for school were $700 bucks for 5 books. Luckily for me it was free I wonder if I could say a FSM was a required book for one of my courses and get the scholarship to pay for one? hmmmm...haha I wish

 

The FSM's are the best mod you can purchase!

 

Unlike other manufacturers FSM's, the Toyota manuals are worth their weight in gold, and they charge for them that way.

When I bought my '89 Runner from the original owner I was backing it out of the driveway of his house and he comes running out with... the factory service manuals. Just threw them in, they came with the rig. I didn't even think to ask if he had them.

Something to remember, ask the PO if he has them when you buy a used rig.

too bad I got my truck from an old lady, the original owner that bought it brand new in 91 she had no books, but had all the paperwork for ANY work that was ever done on it! and I mean EVERY bit of work, like reciepts from a Toyota dealership in 91 for it's 1st oil change! half the paper was faded out, but my jaw dropped when I seen that, lmao. They were in a 3-ring binder; I gotta dig that thing back out; I stashed it somewhere in the move...

 

i got three when i bought mine.

Much better than others.

 

what dealership did you buy them from??
i may have to look into getting a set...

 

Best $28 I ever spent and that was with shipping Go find and worth every penny.

 

lmao, eBay's awesome, aint it!

 

Hell no E-bay turned into a bidding war and pissed me off but not before the price was jacked up for a used book for almost what a new one cost.

 

Great investment! Woot! Woot!

 

Stampede toyota, 32nd and 32nd up north. Ask for Jeff in the parts department, and tell him Rob sent you. He should be able to hook you up with parts at cost.

 

I work for Cengage Learning, which probably produce your books for school. If you want them cheaper tell your professor to use ebooks or custom black and white, it will knock half the price off!!!!!

 

awe thanks bud. yeah. i'll see what they can get for the 87

 

good buy! I got my 1990 volume 1 and 2 FSM brand new for $30 on CL. Guy used it once and then sold his truck.

These things are great! So much in depth info, and the pictures are amazing. That hayes pos I have is not worth the paper its printed on. Thank goodness I didnt pay for that one.
