Dethloff HD Engine-Transmission Armor Skid Plate 14-24 Ram 6.7L Cummins

While we hope you never have to drive your pickup into a war zone, wouldn't it be nice to say your truck could handle it? Look no further than Dethloff's HD Engine-Transmission Armor which was designed to solve unique situations for the Military, Mining, and Fire Service making it among the most innovative and heavily engineered skid plate systems ever produced. Built on an extraordinarily robust build design, these skid plates are easy to install and compatible with the OEM protection elements you already have on your truck. The Dethloff HD Engine-Transmission Armor Skid Plate covers the Engine, Transmission, Exhaust Crossover, Transmission cooling lines, and Transmission shift linkage, reinforcing the Transmission Crossmember. Built out of 3/16" steel plates, you can trust that the most critical and exposed parts of your HD Ram truck will be safe no matter where you are driving. On top of that, Dethloff also gave the aluminum elements a gold anodized finish so it looks as good as it protects. IMPORTANT NOTES: This skid plate system offers a large amount of space from the transmissions found under the 2500/3500 gas trucks (66RFE & 8HP75) and these should be able to run the deepest oil pans without issue. The Aisin transmission and the G56 manual transmission sit very low in the chassis and this needs to be taken into account. If you wish to fit oil cooling blocks to the G56 transmission or wish to run a deep oil pan on the Aisin transmission (3500 HO Cummins & available on all 3500 Cab & Chassis), you MUST confirm that you have appropriate clearance between the oil pan and the skid plate. Some aftermarket deep transmission pans for the Aisin sit VERY LOW, and YOU must confirm that there is enough clearance to fit the skid plate & deep pan together. Dethloff's design allows a lot of room for integration with other aftermarket parts. Still, due to the number, variety, and continuing innovation of new products on the aftermarket, Dethloff cannot confirm that other companies’ aftermarket parts will integrate with Dethloff's parts. The responsibility to check fitment, cycle suspension, ensure appropriate clearances due to motor mount deflection, and impact deflection, etc. are always incumbent on the end-user. Every truck and every application is different. Dethloff's design incorporates features intended to offer robust protection for your drivetrain, easy service, and to prevent hazards such as brush buildup. With that said it is still a good idea to occasionally inspect any aftermarket parts and to ensure that you do not have any brush buildup near exhaust components. This skid plate has easy service features and drains that make it easy to keep clean, and it is easy to visually inspect the top for brush buildup without removing anything.
