    this is why 2011 is the last year of the print version of the factory service manual (fsm), and I’m still missing the wiring diagrams that are out of stock. Helminc.com is where I found them, they are a good, but not cheap source for manuals. 373352F2-DAE1-4341-87E8-88581871271D.jpg

    They only offer two service manuals (#2 and #4) for my 2008, and one is out of stock. Those two add up to $140.

    BMW used to offer their service manuals in a (odd size) microfiche format, but later started selling them on CD. The CDs were a lot easier to use, and much cheaper than finding printed service manuals online.

    Wish Toyota would do the same, especially since these manuals are going out of print!

    I've seen aircraft repair manuals that took up less space.

    I’m confused. These are the mechanical manuals for my 2006. There’s not that much difference between a 2006 and a 2011.

    Anyone have a good source for the periodic mx schedule for the 15 taco? I bought used from a ford shop and the dealership didn't have any owner/ service manuals. Really just looking for something better then the online type in your miles and itll tell you whats due option found on toyota.com
    If it got the step by step info for repairs n such so much the better.
