Mine dried out years ago. Too much money

 

I used some aluminum backed rubber sealing tape like you use around exterior windows to seal the neck up on my washer reservoir where it had deteriorated. Still intact now about 5 years later.

 

Try here for the parts.

That does help me ID what it really looks like, since i did not climb under the truck too much I'm not sure how hard it is too do a bad doctor left me with a even worse left shoulder than before I went for shoulder replacement but getting the part is the important part maybe I can use that valuable info to ID one on Amazon I don't want to buy the wrong one do you guys see one on amazon that you all agree looks like the right one for me, and help to me is greatly appreciated I really don't want to buy a different truck At my age if I wake up it a big deal LOL my right arm can still beat most people younger then me in arm wrestling, never stop working out and don't get fat, it will kill you, what is important is being able to do things I will try it, if I can get it.

 

The easiest way to tell is if you have the long filler neck sticking up off the tank.
If not, It's not col weather spec.
If you do, then you need to know if your truck has a fluid level sensor.

8531504040 - Standard Non-Cold Spec. (No filler neck)

8531504050 - Has NO sensor
8531504060 - Does have the Sensor.

 

I need you guys to help me be sure I don't screw up is this it I used that AI free online program to find this place I'm sure all you young guys know about it, but just in case here it is, it lead me to this dealer https://chatgpt.com/ which found this, my question now is this the exact part I need??? https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem...year=1996&submodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=()

 

I doubt it has a sensor yes it had a long neck not much of it is left LOL sticking out the top is this it https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/oem...year=1996&submodel=&extra1=&extra2=&filter=()

 

ChatGTP isn't that good. It's "good" but it's still dumb.

Take a look at what that same site says....
It says EVERY one of the part numbers I listed above fits your truck.

Again, You'll need to pop your hood and look to see if you have a filler neck.
It will be obvious........

 

I'd think even if yours had a sensor, it would still work.
You'd just have a low washer fluid light on. But the pump would still work.

 

HERE A PIC OF WHAT IS LEFT

 

Not much to go on, unfortunately.

You might want to get a new air filter, though.

 

Just about to clean it again and add the oil

 

Did this last year, I'd go with a RockAuto aftermarket. Important points from that thread:

- Generally two types, cold weather package (with the level sensor hole in the bottom) one without.
- OEM ones do not come with a cap, aftermarket ones do, and most of them come with a new pump.
- The neck from the aftermarket ones DO separate at the reservoir, OEM does not, but you still can't buy just the neck which is the part that always breaks.

 

I'd like to get in on this one too. Just removed my unit yesterday. Neck has been in bad shape for a long time, replacing doesn't seem practical based on cost, and I appreciate the exchanges above though not sure what I will do next.
Wish I could just replace the neck.

 

Well which truck do you have since you got yours out your ahead of me, I forced to wait got too much going on mine is a 2 wheel drive 1996 what is yours kid, I call everyone kid since I'm 82

 

When i had my 98 taco the whole unit was missing
I bought a generic one from jc Whitney
Worked fine

 

Good Morning,
My Taco is a 2000 (here's the full range) 2.7 lt, pre-runner, extra cab, SR5, rear wheel drive.
Appreciate any insight, really want to put her back together.

 

Haha Yup, the OEM reservoirs are off the hook. The irony is the aftermarket ones do separate at the neck but you still can't get them separately of course.

I can't see the bottom of yours, but it doesn't look like it has the level sensor which is a bigger hole facing downward. Get one from Rock Auto. More info here.

Edit: or maybe it does have the level sensor, is that the edge of the sensor grommet I see or is it just a plug? In that case you do want the "cold weather package" version.
