I mean the Toyota shop manuals, the ones Toyota dealers use. They're only distributed through the dealer and one other place. And I won't use ebay

The link to amazon gives me an error, but I searched again using
string "toyota service manual sequoia" and get a Chilton's, and a link to another company that sells parts, not manuals.

I bought something on ebay once that took my money and never delivered the product. I rely on the dependability of merchants and ebay is a collection of a million unknown merchants, so I don't take the risk anymore.

So the question still stands!

I've gotten the factory manuals for my Tundra and Camry from (carmanualguy@hotmail.com) . They're the same manuals that the dealers have. Send Terry an e-mail with the type of Toyota you have and whether you want the two manual set or three manual set. The three manual set includes the wiring diagrams. He's gotten mine very quickly at what I call a reasonable price and ships them to your door. He takes Paypal I know but you'd have to ask him about a check. I imagine a check would take longer cause he'd have to wait for it to clear.

And now the protective weasel words, I don't benefit monetarily or in any other form from my recommendation. God I dislike attorneys.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to siphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????
If your engine doesn't consume ANY oil it will seize???

Do the manuals tell you (show you) how to do routine scheduled maintenance? Throttle body cleaning, lubrication, etc??

It would be worth buying if I did one scheduled 15,000 service myself.

The factory manuals are more for someone with advanced electrical/mechanical automotive knowledge. The Haynes & Chilton manuals are more descriptive towards the do it yourself person with some automotive maintenance experience. I don't recall seeing anything in my Haynes or the factory manuals about how to clean the throttle body.
That information has been posted here on the Tundra Solutions site a number of times and is likely the best source in layman's terms for the average person.

Is there any main difference between the Chiltons or Haynes manual for the Sequoias?

Default Chiltons = Haynes

LOL, I ONLY recently found this out:

Haynes = Chiltons

I bought BOTH and feel stupid because they're both EXACTLY the same. Same text, same pictures (exactly the same) only arranged a little differently.

I decided to keep the Chiltons and listed the Haynes on ebay!

Just an FYI. Don't make MY mistake and buy BOTH. Duh! I feel so dumb.

I'd love to get the original OEM service manual too (especially in electronic format (.pdf) or other that would not take up much room). If anyone else can give advice, please do.

Personally I DO NOT think that you can buy them on amazon. I have seen them on ebay for about $100, but you don't see them very often. I think that last time that I saw them the guy was selling copies that he Xeroxed and still getting almost $100 for them... guess the copies were good. LOL

Toyota dealers sell them for around $210 (for the set of TWO volumes), but OUCH, that's a LOT of dough. Save ya lots of money doing your own maintenance and repairs though. My understanding is that they do have the maintenance info (pretty much all the info that the dealer has, they primarily get from there.

Good LUCK!

This is a pain, but you can go to http://techinfo.toyota.com/ and pay $10 for a one-day membership and download all service manuals, owners manual etc. for most Toyota models after 1990. They are in PDF form which I like for searching etc. The part that is a pain is that for my '05 Sequoia, to get everything was 1400 + downloads -- sometimes each page is a seperate file. I'm still compiling everything into single pdf with bookmarks for chapters etc.

I think the second volume is what most people would use, so you probably don't need to download everything.

Also - the single day membership expires at midnight of the day your 24 hours ends - so if you sign up at 12:01 PST, you get 47 hours 59 minutes. It took me several hours to download everything which probably wasn't worth it -- I was hoping it would only be a few downloads, but I'm glad to have a version that I can search, print a couple of pages from and get them dirty.
