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

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.

The 2010 Toyota 4Runner was sold with two engines from different families, the 4.0L V6 (1GR-FE) and the 2.7L four-cylinder (2TR-FE), so a torque spec or a service interval that is right for one is usually wrong for the other. Trim is the second variable: Limited, SR5 and Trail were equipped differently around the same chassis, and both questions have to be settled before any number is worth trusting on this truck.

Known issues on the 2010 4Runner. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. Three of them involve the airbag system. Two cover the passenger-side frontal inflator module: one because an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants, the other because an inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. The third covers the frontal airbag sensor and control module, where the front passenger seat occupant sensing system can be out of calibration. Three more were written against vehicle labels: an inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires; a driver may overload a vehicle which may increase the risk of a crash; and a third states that this does not meet the standard requirements. The remaining two are hardware. On the exhaust system, contact with an exhaust tip may result in personal injury. On the front seat heater, a damaged copper strand heating element may short circuit, increasing the risk of a fire. Owners have logged 175 complaints against the 2010 4Runner, and 153 technical service bulletins have been issued for the year.

That record clusters in a few places, and they are the places a 2010 4Runner in the bay tends to send you first: the front airbags and their occupant sensing, the seat heater circuits, the load and tire labeling, and the exhaust. Around those sit the ordinary jobs, valve clearance, cooling, brakes and driveline, each on the schedule its own engine keeps.
