    I'll try to find out for you. I had a shop install them. I didn't see them listed on my invoice.

    color match? what do you mean? I've been making paint for people for over 6 years. I don't charge any extra for the matching process. just bring me a sample bigger than a quarter that you want matched and I'll match it and make it within blending capabilities. You should be able to take a panel to any auto paints store and get that done. Usually NAPAs have this ability with their prospector chips.

    A little update:
    I found out this weekend that my 4wd isn't working. I swear it was when I drove it. We think it's the actuator. Took it to the dealer for a diagnostic inspection. They said they thought it was the actuator as well. He said the truck really looked to be mechanically sound. Of course he mentioned the timing belt and water pump. The u joint is squeaking a little bit. He also mentioned he thought the drive shaft could be a little stressed due to the lift (angle)?? The service advisor thought I had quite a bit more life in it. Other than that just drive belts. The shift points seemed to be normal. Man these things rev high in the first few gears before shifting.
    My main concern is to get the 4wd fixed. Crossing my fingers it's just the actuator.
