I purchased this book to work on my 1990 4runner and it is worthless. The diagrams show very little if any detail. DO NOT PURCHASE.
I bought this book specifically because it advertised electrical wiring diagrams and schematics. The diagrams it contains are virtually worthless. Examples: does not mention headlights except how to change the lamp, does not acknowledge the instrument lighting at all. If you need to troubleshoot your electrical system, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!
I too feel fleeced by the promises made by this book. There amount of specific, useful information, if any, contained in this book totals perhaps _2_ pages. Don't be fooled like I was. Calling this book a repair manual, imho, is misrepresentation.
I have now officially owned BOTH books for Toyota Pickups.And there is absolutely NO USEFUL INFORMATION in either of them. I have not been conned simply once by the Haynes company, it has now happened Twice.I was in the Understanding that this book was NOT published by Haynes. That's why the 2 books have 2 completely different covers. But after opening the Cover, you see the Haynes Logo plastered everywhere.All I needed from this book, was to know Where the A & B connectors of the Steering column hook into.There is NOTHING pertaining to this wiring. There is only ENGINE and CHASSIS schematics. Nothing pertaining to the Inside of the Cab.Just another Trash can filler. You will be disappointed. Do not buy this book.I am going to my local Toyota dealership to ask for their help in the Morning.Haynes = an absolute waste of time, money, and Defense-less Trees.
I have Toyota 4Runner. I had some problems and I would like to understand them. I purchased the book to help me to understand the operation and cause of problemes. If some one needs some lists of disassembly and assembly steps without requiring explanation drawings maybe he would find this book helpful. However, I am not satisfied with the drawings. There is very little about transmission. There is no diagnostic codes for transmission. The book does not have good sistematic structure.
According to the cover, this manual covers all 4-runners, pickups, and Landcruisers from 1989-1996.I bought it for information on a 1994 Landcruiser. If you have a Landcruiser in this year range, DO NOT buy this manual; buy the Haynes manual. I've had my Landcruiser now for 5+ years and before that I had an '86 Toyota pickup for 5 years (I think I had the Chilton for that truck). The differences between the pickup and the Landcruiser are far too numerous and important to cover them in the same manual.So, if you have a Pickup or a 4runner, you might be good, but if you have a Landcruiser, buy the Haynes.If you plan on doing any appreciable maintenance past oil changes, brakes, etc., you should definitely consider stepping all the way to the Factory Service Manual available from the dealer. It will probably be on the order of $150, but you'll cover that soon. Also see techinfo.toyota.com. You used to be able to have a short term log-in for only a few bucks that gave you access to the manual.Happy wrenching!
Anybody who is going to try more than basic car maintenance should have one. It can help you make sure the auto parts shop gets you the right parts and tell you the specific tricks to make a repair smoothly on a specific vehicle.
Knew what product was but was surprised at the low price for early model vehicles. Got it for my grandson who just bought his 1st Toyota and he was ecsstatic with it! Chilton still 10-1 better than Haynes! Bill
