The download I received was a complete waste of my money. Was not even close to what it was represented as. I thought I was getting a proper service repair manual. What I got was a collection of service bulletins. I sent an email to your company right after I looked through it requesting my money back. Have yet to hear a response. Terry Muich

More detailed than I thought, still trying to navigate through it, not what I thought it would be, thought it would be more like the Haynes manual.

It was much larger than i expected. 5 documents at 12k pages each. Its not something ill actually be able read but its easy enough to find what you need..
The Ford F250 manual is much easier to navigate at just over 8000 pages.
If i spend the money for Adobe Acrobat Professional ill be able to break it down into manageable bits.
Both manuals area great value for the money.

Schematics were not high resolution making the markings and names difficult to read when zoomed in. Improvement is needed. Otherwise it is a good document.

I wasn’t sure why I needed this to be a PDF, but it was apparent once I got it. It includes what would be thousands of pages if it were in print. The links take you to wherever you need to go in the text.

would rather have a maintenance manual. have a parts manual from parts vu company. only difference is that your parts manual has all together whereas the parts vu had to download the differsections individually.

Our original order was supposed to be for our 2014 Subaru Outback, yet the manual came up as Forester. We did have to purchase a new manual in order for them to send us the correct manual. We hope it will help us repair our Subaru.

Item as described quick delivery

This factory service and repair manual is written for the 2001 Toyota 4Runner specifically — that model year, the 3.4L V6 (5VZ-FE) under the hood and the trim the truck left the plant as — so the clearances and tightening sequences it quotes are the figures Toyota published for this vehicle rather than values carried over from an adjacent year that shared the badge.

Known issues on the 2001 4Runner. One recall is on federal record for this model year. It covers the front suspension lower ball joint: a manufacturing issue meant the surface of the ball of the joint may have been scratched, and the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle, causing loss of steering control. Owners have filed 206 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 49 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

Whether you are inspecting the front lower ball joints and steering knuckles, chasing a fault one of those bulletins already describes, or working a scheduled service on the 3.4L V6, it holds you to Toyota's procedure and the correct 2001 4Runner specification.
