    Hi All,
    I recently acquired a 1998 Tacoma 2WD 2.4L 2RZ M/T Reg. cab.

    Which FSM should I be referencing?

    From the archive.org links, I see the 1998-2000 Toyota Tacoma FSM 5ZE-FE and the 1995.5-1997 Toyota Tacoma FSM (2)(3)RZ-FE 5VZ-FE.

    Do I reference the 1998-2000 5ZE FSM for anything non-engine related and reference the 1995.5-1997 FSM for engine related items?

    Thanks in advance for any advice. No one in my family ever wrenched so I am trying to educate myself along the journey of keeping my first truck (and first Taco) running as long as possible.

    EDIT: I guess I should add that the truck did not come with the owner's manual so that adds to my general lack of info.

    The 98-00 is more complete. You will need to reference the 97 manual for 2RZ engine related material. I have not found a 98-00 manual for the 2.4/2.7L models.
