Ask The Chilton Manual Guy

Howdy, since I have full access to all Chilton Repair Manuals I thought I'd try starting a thread like this in hopes of helping fellow members and also creating searchable information for others.

Ask away:

NOTE: The 3rd Gen Tundra manuals are not published yet.
NOTE 2: Feel free to ask about other vehicles in your garage as well.

 

Okay, I have one. Do the Chilton manuals happen to mention what kind of Torsen center differential the 2nd Generation Sequoias use? T-1 (Type A), T-2 (Type B), or T-3 (Type C).

 

That's a good question. No, the manuals don't contain part numbers or get to that detail. See attached.

Rockauto or something similar will be a good resource to find that information.

 

They have a standard bolt torque table on there (attached) but for each repair section there is usually an illustration showing the exploded view of the parts and applicable bolt torques. (see attachment from previous post)

 

Thanks for looking. I think that I've found what seems to me to be the strongest indication that they're a T-3.

@Nor7 Off topic but can you send me the service manual for a 2006 Chevy Tahoe? Thanks in advance.

 

@mdavis I wish I could send you the whole manual but I can only PDF one section at a time through various drop down menus. Is there a topic or repair that you need done?

 

Thanks anyway man. I was asking for a coworker. He just wanted the whole manual and I remembered this thread.

 

Reminder, this thread exists and you can ask for info for your non Tundra vehicles.

 

So are the '16 Crewmax manuals out yet? If so, I need the Radio interface schematics. Specifically looking for the video and audio interfaces.

 

just checked, not out yet on the site I use.

 

@Nor7 Are the 3rd gen manuals out yet? I need all the info on front suspension/ front axle for 4x4. I'm trying to take off a 6" lift and return to stock.

 

Can you tell me where the Bluetooth module for a 2011 CrewMax limited is located?

 

2014 and up manuals out yet? Is it detailed step by step? I have the Haynes manual and it skips over some vital steps, I don’t wanna buy this and it’s not as detailed for an average guy that is not a tech

 

Yes, they are out. What do you need?

 

Cool, is it for more advanced tech stuff? Can the average guy buy it and able to do anything on the truck with the instructions or you “need” to have some experience wrenching? I don’t want to pay for it and it’s vague......

 

Yes, it is pretty detailed. Enough for the average wrencher to be proficient.

 

Ok thank you

 

@Nor7 do you have the electric diagram behind tow/haul button on a 2012 ? I see 4 wires: light brown, green, yellow and white/black. Can you confirm what they are ? green tied to dashboard illumination ? thanks !

 

@Nor7 Do you have access to 2014 4Runner SR5, 2WD - I want to change engine air filter and cabin air filter. Thanks.

 

@Nor7 Could you tell me the wiring color order on the Cam Position Sensor pigtail attached to the loom that runs directly over the plugs on the passenger side of the motor? I was changing the plugs & moved the loom out of the way a little, not realizing that the cam position sensor was hidden under it. I noticed some bare wires dangling a little later. I'm pretty sure that the wires are yellow, black, red going from the motor toward the fender.

 

@Nor7 How can I get wiring diagrams for 2019 CM? Are full manuals for 2019 models available?
Thanks!

 

Hi,
Could you please provide the wiring diagrams for a 2012 CM SR5 with tow package? Much appreciated.

 

Here's a link to my Google Drive and my copy of the 2007-2013 wiring diagrams....

 

Much appreciated. Does it have the tow pa mage wiring harness?

 

I have not as yet had need to look for that specifically. I know that it shows the differences between column and console shift trucks, so I would think that chances are good. Might I ask specifically what you're searching for? I may have glanced over it in my particular roaming.

 

Are there any clear pics or illustrations of the coolant drain plugs in the engine block for the 2gen tundra?

 

I kinda doubt it. I do seem to recall someone made a video focusing on these exact aspects. It was on YouTube.

 

Thanks I just realized when OP posted this thread
