I don't think it's actually any different than any other year- as far as wiring, etc. As long as you can get your hands on an 03/04 Tacoma 3.4L 4x4 M/T ECU, it sounds to be a standard issue manual swap.

They are beautiful!
To each his own, but after 17 years of Oak I'd like the Grey with Silver Sport interior trim. It goes perfect with Thunder Cloud Metallic. Adding Black & Tan to the mix will not win any interior design awards. LOL
Also the Sport seats are the most comfortable 3rd gen seat, aggressive looking hood & great flares too.
What are you doing with your truck? Anthracite Metallic is a great color too as long as the clear coat isn't turning white.

Well, you remembered correctly. I'll try to find the thread, and read through it.
For my own knowledge- as well as future searches- what causes the VSC/traction control to no longer work? Don't the Tacoma's have the same system?
I'm not arguing it's better without it, but there's something in me that would rather have it and be able to defeat it, rather than having the system malfunctioning and just pull bulbs. |
From what I could determine VSC was only offered on 2004 M/T 2WD PreRunner Tacomas, So when you plug in the 4WD ECM the VSC system is not getting any signals from the ECM. I looked into it and just ran into a wall and left it non OP.

Okay, that makes sense.
I need to decide whether I'm keeping the AWD or not. I have a J case on the '99 donor trans.

Haha maybe not, but I definitely like that combo best!
The flares are the same as 00-02 SR5, right? They look the same.
Yeah, I do love my Anthracite. The clear was white, so the place I got it from had the hood and roof sprayed before I got to it. I'll be posting it for sale after I get the AC recharged and ignition replaced- I doubt anyone else could figure out the trick to turn the current ignition on  "Just wiggle the tip around as you slide it in" might not be a strong selling point.

LOL! My GF asks me to do that all the time!
The flares are larger like the Limited but dont have the cladding on the doors.

Yeah, that's how the 00-02 SR5 flares are too- see pic above

Tacoma prerunners (4x2) were not available with a manual trans, only the auto. My old 04 prerunner had a section in the owners manual about VSC but my truck did not come equipped with it. To the best of my knowledge there was no specific model or combination of options that all had VSC. I think it may have just been a stand alone option at best.
Good luck with the swap. Would be sweet to get the manual in and keep all the VSC stuff.

I actually completely agree with you on this. The Oak doesn't look right with the TCM.
I think we got some good info in here for future searching, and I'll stop posting.
With that, I got a 2003 4x4 M/T 3.4L Tacoma ECU headin my way this morning from TN! I went ahead and got the whole engine/trans harness too. I like fewer splices, more OEM, and I think my manifold gasket needs replacing anyway. So swapping the harness in shouldn't be too big of a deal. Lord knows the valve cover gaskets could be replaced

Read this and your build thread. What all was required for the swap? Have an 01 4runner and contemplating 5 spd swapping.

I know I'm resurrecting a long dead thread and I apologize, but I have a question about the 03/04 ECUs that I can't find the answer to anywhere. I'm planning a manual and 4WD swap on my 02 4Runner. I know I need the 03 or 04 manual Tacoma ECU to work with the manual trans and the drive by wire throttle. I'm wondering if there's any difference between the 2WD and 4WD ECU, because the 2WDs are half the price or less. As far as I can tell, as long as the ECU is set up for a 5VZFE and R150 transmission it should be fine, right? I'm using a 95 Tacoma with a manual hub, non ADD differential for the swap. Thanks!

I'm going to be doing the same swap soon on my 2001, I purchased a 2000 manual 4runner to get all the parts from.
I'm hoping I can just jump the auto harness for now until I can find a 03-04 MT tacoma ECM.
