    I have a 2.4 2WD plain old Toyota pickup... Bought it with a salvage title when it was like new... It seems to cause some confusioin sometimes since the door plate shows 11/96 but it is registered as a 1997.
    There is no Tundra written anywhere on the truck or in the papers
    Do I use Tundra wiring diagrams or where do I look for a correct wiring diagram??
    Do the dealers sell the exact one I need?

    It’s a pickup or t-100.

    Tundra was after the T-100. Starting in may of 1999.

    T-100 never had a 2.4l

    Tacoma started 1995.5 so… very confused.

    picture will tell right away.

    Now I'm working to get my dash to light up when I turn the key on.
    Had the frame straightened at the front R/H side
    Got some heavy leafs for the back axle
    The deck corrodes between #1 cylinder and a coolant hole. Blows head gasket.
    Got another engine from a wreck...... It's deck is corroded between #1 cylinder and cooant hole..,. SAME SPOT!
    Saw one on YOUTUBE.... It's deck is corrioded between #1 cylinder and coolant hole.... SAME SPOT!
    Fixed mine with Silver Solder... Don 't know yet if it will work.
    Next will have to oring it.
