Description

RCI Offroad Transfer Case Skid Plate | 19-Present Silverado

American-Made Protection. No-Drill Installation. Safeguard Your Drivetrain.

Armor for Your Most Vulnerable Component

The RCI Transfer Case Skid Plate is the final piece of the puzzle for total underbody protection on your 2019–Present Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The factory transfer case is notoriously low-hanging, leaving it exposed to sharp rocks, high-centered obstacles, and debris that can end your trip in an instant.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this skid plate is designed to take the hits so your expensive drivetrain doesn't have to. Whether you are building a dedicated overland rig or a capable job site truck, RCI provides the peace of mind needed to tackle any terrain.

The Problem & The Solution:

The Pain: The Silverado transfer case housing is made of cast aluminum—one hard hit against a rock can crack the case, leading to fluid loss and a $4,000+ repair bill.
The RCI Solution: A heavy-duty, CNC-cut shield that creates a smooth, snag-free surface. It allows your truck to glide over obstacles while completely isolating the transfer case from impact.

Key Features: Drivetrain Protection

100% Bolt-On

Low-Profile Design

Tucked tight against the chassis to maintain maximum ground clearance while shielding low-hanging components.

Snag-Free Surface

The smooth bottom prevents you from getting "hung up" on obstacles, allowing the truck to slide forward securely.

Premium Finish

Our black powder coat finish is multi-staged for long-term resistance against road salt and trail grime.

Lightweight Armor

At just 21 lbs (steel version), it provides massive protection without significantly impacting your payload or MPG.

Owner Review ★★★★★

"Super easy install on my '22 Silverado. The transfer case really does hang down low on these trucks, and having the aluminum RCI plate there makes me feel way better on the trails. It’s light, looks great, and the bolt holes lined up perfectly without any prying."

- Mark S., Silverado 1500 Owner

Frequently Asked Questions

+ Will this fit my 2WD Silverado?

This skid plate is designed specifically for 4x4 models. 2WD models generally do not have the same transfer case or mounting points as the 4WD version.

+ Aluminum vs. Steel: Which should I choose?

Choose Steel if you are doing heavy rock crawling where the plate will support the weight of the truck. Choose Aluminum if you want to save weight and live in an area where road salt is used, as aluminum will not rust even if the powder coat is scratched.

+ Do I need to drill any holes?

No. The RCI Transfer Case Skid Plate is a 100% bolt-on system that utilizes existing factory attachment points on the Silverado frame.

+ Does this work with my Duramax 3.0 diesel?

Yes, fitment is confirmed for 2019-Present 3.0L Duramax models. It is also compatible with the 2.7L, 5.3L, and 6.2L engines.

+ Can I install this by myself?

Yes. Most owners can install this in under 30 minutes using basic hand tools. Because it is lightweight (especially the aluminum version), it can be easily held in place while starting the bolts.

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
