Color Code?

Where do i find the color code for the exterior paint on a '97 Yukon? I looked in the glovebox, on the driverside door, and by the spare tire, but no dice. I also looked in the manual that came with the truck and i can't find it there either. I have to paint my bumper, and me and a buddy looked at all the color choices in a book of GM factory paints at the local parts store. We picked the one that matched, but when we painted the bumper it was WAY too light. But as it is all we can do is try to match the paint up with what my truck is just by eyeing it. So i need to go back and try getting something darker and try again. Let me know if you can point me in the right direction.

What color is it?

 

When I picked out the fiberglass cap for my truck, they gave me 6 colors of Light Pewter to choose from... :thumbs:

The paint code should be on the bottom of the RPO sticker in the glovebox. It will start off with a "WA" and then a number like 9245 or 526F.

This will be the paint code. There are some vehicles that don't have a WA number on the tag, though. In this case, the number will be in the rows of codes, it will be the number that ends with "U" or "L". 51U, for example is Dark Toreador Red.

 

If all else fails, find a paint store that has a camera that they can take a picture of the paint and generate a formula.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
