I’m glad to see you doing a video on this truck. I have ’02 S10 that I’m getting ready to pull the motor for a pan gasket and rear seals. This motor is identical even appears to be flex fuel judging by the fuel rail. There are a lot of these tucks on the road and this is a great video to demonstrate replacing the engine as well as other repairs. Keep up the good work!
I looked into that recall as my dad has a Tacoma and if I remember correctly the recall was for rust on the inside of the frame rails an went all the way up under the cab. You can call the dealer and they can check the vin to see if you was one of them. You can look the recall up online also. I know for a lot of people they were just giving them a new truck because it was so bad.

I found the problem. I put a 20a resettable fuse inline with some alligator clips, jumped from the Battery Positive on the fuse block to the load side of the relay with the relay out so the fuel pump would run continuosly. I put a new fuse in the ecm slot and started the truck, the resettable fuse trips out every 30 sec or so and kills the truck. ecm fuse does not blow. even with the key off I can jump the relay and the the reset fuse trips. Its drawing a ton of power because the jump wire rated for 30a get hot. I have never seen a pump fail like this so It had me stumped for a while. I have since pulled the pump and confirmed this. I am almost positive it is the fuel pump as there is no curent draw with the pump unplugged so no short anywhere besides the pump. I thought filter may be plugged but truck runs fine with no other symptoms. I checked the wiring diagrams before anything else if it wasn’t for that I would never have found the fuel pump is fuesed through the ecm fuse.
