First snow day of the year and its a dusy.

Pilot bearings are usually difficult to remove. If you havent heard of the white bread trick you might be skeptical when I say we found a way to get it out with a tortilla...

Did you know the Atlas 4 5 and 6cyl engines all share the same head bolts that like to break off in the block? We've got a few tricks to help prevent you from doing that. Check out the linked teardown video.

You can absolutely pull the rear timing chain off the crank in the 4 and 5 cylinder Atlas engines to "delete" the balance shafts. But do you really want this surface being the cause of your low oil pressure? Our balance shaft delete kits completely removes these destroyed bearings and replaces them with precision machined bushings that actually block off all the oil passages that once oiled the balance shaft bearings. They'll even boost your oil pressure since you have 6 less bearings needing to relieve oil. This is the defacto reliability mod to the 4 and 5cyl Atlas motors. badlandindustries.com

Did I mention its usb powered? First to market several years ago and still the absolute best solution for the unusable storage tray behind the infotainment screen in the 23, 24, 25, and even 2026 Colorados and Canyons. The other brands require you to screw into the dash and rip out the radio just to install the bracket China ripped off and listed on amazon for 1/4 the price. This dash grid is easily one of the quickest installed products we make for the 3rd gen trucks. Requires no modifications to the truck whatsoever. 2 screws and a single fuse tap to power the USB plug and you're ready to mount your camera, phone, gopro, 360 and maybe your placker tooth pick. I don't judge.
