Haynes,Chiltons,Mitchells,Clymers, Bentley and Toyota repair books.

1985 FSM - READ FIRST

This FSM works for the stock solid front axle trucks

NOTES:
If you have a pre-84 vehicle with an external voltage regulator, the
ignition/charging section will not work for you. If you have an '85
vehicle, make note as to whether you are carbed or EFI, as the
ignition systems are not the same.
Accurate links for pre-84 charging/ignition systems would be
appreciated.

Regarding the FSM, WARNING: Do not try and open this file over the
internet no matter HOW fast your connection is; Adobe WILL lock up.
This document is 1025 pages long!

Tech note from lscotte: Firefox users may not need this download tool.
Right click>save link as...

Download AmazingDown 1.62 first.
Then in that program press the "New" button on the tool bar and copy
and paste the URL below into the corresponding dialogue box and click
download. This will greatly speed up the process of downloading such a
big file from a server that isn't quite the fastest out there. Once
the file is downloaded you can open it from your hard drive. (folder
entitled 'downloaded')

http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/FSM.shtml

1)buy a used one off e-bay
2)some Toyota dealerships may give you one or sell it for $10-20
(used) as most Toyota dealerships don't repair many old Toyotas and no
longer need the service manual
3)some public libraries sell their old books as they are not in demand
any longer
4)some free buy & sell classified papers, websites and bulletin boards
may have some used ones for sale
5)some junk yards may have one laying around
6)some Toyota specialty garages may have one laying around and no
longer use it as the vehicle may be too old and those mechanics
probably have so much experience that they could publish their own
factory service manual with corrections and "real world repair tips"
7)if someone has the FSM maybe they could scan all of the pages and
post it on a site for all of us to download or view.
