Description

Juggernaut USA 2019+ Chevy Silverado 1500 Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield

Lifetime Warranty. No-Drill Bolt-On Installation. Made in Colorado, USA.

Shields Your Transmission and Your Catalytic Converters

The Juggernaut USA Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield covers the two most exposed, most expensive parts hanging under your 2019-2026 Silverado 1500: the transmission pan and the catalytic converters. Both sit low, both are nearly bare from the factory, and both are prime targets on the trail and in the parking lot.

Every plate is designed, CNC plasma-cut, and press-brake formed in-house at our Wheat Ridge, Colorado shop from 1/4" 5052-H32 aluminum, then finished in a durable black powder coat. Aluminum doesn't rust the way steel does, so a scratch from a rock strike stays a scratch instead of turning into a corrosion point.

Why Choose Juggernaut Protection?

The Pain: A stock Silverado leaves its transmission pan and catalytic converters hanging low and unprotected. One rock strike on the pan can mean a tow and a transmission rebuild, and exposed converters can be cut out from underneath in minutes.
The Juggernaut Solution: A full 1/4" aluminum shield that bolts to your factory mounting points — no drilling, no cutting — and adds a physical barrier against both trail damage and catalytic converter theft.

Key Features: Transmission Skid Plate & Cat Shield

No Drilling Required

Bolts on using your Silverado's factory mounting points. No holes, no cutting, no modifications to your truck.

Transmission & Cat Shield in One

A single plate shields both the transmission pan and the catalytic converters, so you're not stacking multiple products to get full coverage.

Removable Oil-Drain Access Panel

A dedicated access cutout means routine oil changes don't require pulling the whole skid plate.

1/4" 5052-H32 Aluminum

Full quarter-inch aircraft-grade aluminum plate — lighter than steel armor and it won't rust, even with a scratch through the coating.

Powder-Coated Black Finish

A tough black powder coat resists abrasion from rocks, gravel, and road debris.

Grade 8 Hardware Included

Every bolt and bracket needed for installation ships in the box — no trip to the hardware store.

Made in Colorado, USA

Designed, cut, and finished start-to-finish in our Wheat Ridge, Colorado shop from US-sourced aluminum.

Lifetime Warranty

Covered against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own it.

Over-Engineered in Colorado

We don't cut corners. The transmission skid plate is cut from full 1/4" 5052-H32 aluminum and secured with Grade 8 steel hardware, all included in the box. Every plate ships ready to bolt directly to your Silverado's factory mounting points.

Prop 65

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
