hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone had a 1994 4 runner factory service manual laying around that they'd want to sell me, or knows someone who has one that recently sold their truck? i've been searching ebay for one but have only found the crap cds so far. thanks

 

ok first of all if you go to 4x4wire.com and do the search you will find a phone# of a place down in california that sells them. i think its like $18 shipped. thats what i did

second, in my opinion the factory manual is worthless. if i were you i would just go buy a chiltons or something. but thats just me. its just that i haven't gotten any use out of mine.

 

Is this the actual service manual from Toyota or a Haynes for Chiltons? Where's that phone number too? I couldn't find it.

 

its the actual toyota maunual. i'll go look for the #

 

FOUND IT!!!!

thats where i got mine. it was about $16 with shipping to WA

hope you have fun reading your new book!!!!

 

Thanks man, that's great. I thought those things went for $100. I know what I will be ordering soon.

 

hey i just called the number to find out more info. I think the $16 book you were talking about is just the owners manual. you have to ask for the factory service manual the techs use. the lady gave me prices for my '94 4 runner. there are 3 volumes.
-volume 1- engine - $37.95
-volume 2- chassis - $58.95
-volume 3- electrical - $26.95

so yeah actually they're around $120 new. thanks for the phone # though.

 

oh yeah sorry my bad. the whole time i thoght you guys just wanted the owners manual. :pat: sorry about that.

 

I called them too and the lady I talked to gave me the same prices and volumes. They have FSM manuals for automatic tranny, engine, and electrical components. These manuals come in volumes and very expensive. That $16 bucks manual you have is just the owner's manual that you keep in the glove box compartment. Oh well!

Yep, those prices are right. I bought an electrical diagram a long time ago and recently added the eingine and chassis volumes.

 

I thought you all were talking about the owners manuals that come with your Runner when new. I was going to laugh my a$$ off if you all payed for it. I got mine FREE when I called 1-800-331-4331 and said "hey I lost my owners manual". They sent two of them incase I lost one more of them. I payed nada even for shipping. So theres the number for anyone that lost theirs or in my case never got one being im the third owner.

 

yeah watch that too on ebay, they sell "factory manuals" for a few bucks, i wonder how many people bought them thinking they were repair manuals :pat: :cry:
