I found a copy of EPC at yankeetoys.org/docs.htm early this morning and downloaded the zipped files. I haven't installed yet, but will try this evening if the kids leave me alone for a few minutes. I had not heard of this (EPC) until you mentioned it and did a search online. Hopefully this will either straighten things up, or just make it worse. Thanks for the prompt and info. I think after sleeping on it last night, I have decided that the VIN situation is by no means a show-stopper. There is abundant resource, like 4x4Wire, to find the parts I need to fix and keep my truck going. The less I have to rely on Toyota specifically for parts, the more money will stay in my wallet for my kids to spend. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />
