Manual for a 89 toyota pick up

Looking for a Chilton or Hayes manual or factory for a 89 pickup.anyone got a line on one?

 

Seeing a lot on eBay. Probably auto parts stores too.

 

O'Reilly says they have to order. Guess I'll check eBay or Amazon

 

Don`t waste your money Just get the Factory Service Manual and be done.

To me the real critical one is The Electrical Wiring Diagrams given the choice I would rather have that then the others.

I'd be scouring ebay and CL for factory manuals though. Haynes and Chiltons are marginal at best, not really being helpful if you have to dig very deep.

 

Holy cow, it's over 175 bucks for the fsm. Think I might have just found a pdf on yotanation.

 

I was gonna suggest looking for someone that still had it available. Internet Archive Wayback Machine is handy if it has been taken down.

 

I've had FSMs for several vehicles over the years, including one I kept 12 years and raced a bit. The only value *I* (and I do 95% of my own work) ever found in them was wiring and diagnostic code trouble shooting.

I'll have to admit, even the wiring was minimal, as I just never had problems there. And you can find trouble code data all over the web now.

I have an '04 w/100k on it and both manuals have never been opened. Which is good, but also shows I should have saved my money!

 

I on the other hand find them pretty useful, once you get past the fact they're written step by step for new techs. They're pretty dummy proof and have lots of troubleshooting steps with correct operating values. It's nice to have all the info in one place rather than searching online and getting someone's opinion of the problem, that's what we have TW for . I've got a "garage laptop" with all the ones for vehicles I've worked on.

 

I agree with above, FSM is way better than Hayne's or Chilton's. Half the time the latter two seem like they've been written by someone who has no idea what they're talking about and they just tried to half-ass reverse engineer it.

 

It was when Toyota sold the copy rights to the Factory Service Manuals to Hem Inc

Gotta raise money to pay for the frame replacements

The prices tripled or more they discontinued quite a few for lack of interest.Driving the prices even higher on Ebay

Sent the legal team after any copies hosted on the internet Making hosted copies impossible to find.

 

FIFY

 

Thanks everyone.
