2001 Toyota Tundra Service and Repair Manual

Fitment on this 2001 Toyota Tundra factory service and repair manual is pinned to the exact year, engine and trim in front of you — the 3.4L V6 (5VZ-FE) or the 4.7L V8 (2UZ-FE) — so the specifications and tightening sequences you work to are the ones Toyota published for that build rather than figures carried across from an adjacent model year.

Known issues on the 2001 Tundra. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first is structural, covering the frame, its members and the underbody shields on 2000-2003 Tundras originally sold in or currently registered in a specified list of states; separation of the spare tire and diminished brake capacity could increase the risk of a crash. The second is an exterior lighting recall on the headlights: Dope, Inc. recalled 42,540 combination corner and bumper lamp assemblies of various part numbers sold for use as aftermarket equipment for various passenger vehicles, and decreased lighting visibility may result in a vehicle crash. Owners have logged 542 complaints for the year and Toyota has issued 82 technical service bulletins.

From a frame and underbody inspection to a lighting fault or a scheduled service on the 4.7L V8, it holds you to Toyota's own procedure and the correct figure for this specific 2001 Tundra.
