where to get Factory Service Manuals?

[bloodypulp]

anyone know where I can get the 2003 Tundra Factory Service Manuals cheap? I want the genuine stuff that Toyota Technicians use, not the Chilton's.

They are NOT cheap!

Toyota publications, including Owner's Manuals, Repair Manuals, and Wiring diagrams may be purchased from the Toyota Material Distribution Center or your local Toyota dealership.

To contact the Material Distribution Center, call 800-622-2033 or 310-761-9400 between the hours of 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, Pacific Time, Monday - Friday.

FYI

I bought Vol 1 and 2, Toyota manuals for the 2003 Tundra from an guy on ebay for $175 plus $11 shipping. When I priced them at the Toyota Publishing they were just over $200 with $8 shipping (not a bad price). The only on-line dealer I found quoted $275 for both.

Also, the wiring diagram book is an additional $70 plus shipping from Toyota.

can i have the email of the ebay seller? i wonder if he has any more left.

[MMitsock]

Sorry, I don't have any of the Emails we exchanged after the sale, his ebay name is jcmanuals1, you can contact him through ebay or keep an eye out to see if he posts another set of manuals.

I found this auction on ebay. This is not the guy I bought my manuals from so I can't say if he is good or bad.

This was mine for an '03 Sequoia, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...DME:B:EOT:MT:3 He had them for the Tundra also, a couple here at TS bought them. It's all on CD and seems to have everything.

This was his e-mail (shardauto@mailnew.com) $26 for the whole thing shipped to your door.

I purchased through this seller also. Very good deal, just print out what you need as you go.

I also just purchased the CD's but haven't gotten them yet. Figured for $25.00 couldn't go wrong. Glad to hear of other who have gotten it and are happy with them.

[kolias]

Did you get the cd's yet? Are they good?

[dsconstructs]

I had mine before my post even. It will all be on one CD. Very pleased with all the information on there, just takes some searching around at first since all the categories are abbreviated, but yes it is very good.

Haynes just published a 2000-2002 Tundra manual. They are way better than Chiltons though not as detailed as a Factory manual.

Obviously there are differences between 2002 and 2003 models (brakes, fluids, trim parts) but this will work for most items you may need to work on.

Bought mine on ebay for $14 and shipping.
