The Deka Battery Isolator # DW08770 is not vehicle-specific; it will work fine on your 1986 Dodge Ramcharger to protect the truck battery from excessive discharge and to regulate current in a multi-battery system.

If your truck has a CS alternator you will use installation kit # DW08768. If it has the SI alternator use kit # DW08769. The difference will be in the part number of the alternator. An SI has SI as the last two digits of the number. The other way to tell is that the SI has an external fan on it and the CS is much larger than an SI.SI means it has the voltage regulator integrated into the alternator.

I have linked a wiring diagram for you that shows the connections for the isolator, main truck battery, alternator and auxiliary battery. We also offer a 120-amp version of the isolator, part # DW08771.

There isn't a special kit you would have to use to install battery isolator on your 2015 Toyota Tacoma unless it uses a Delco or GM CS alternator (which isn't likely). So you would use the regular kit, #DW08769.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.
