Chevrolet Traverse Crankshaft provides the V6 engine with its essential capability to convert piston thrust in a straight line to smooth rotation that ultimately spins the transmission and wheels. The Crankshaft is low down in the cylinder block, with its offset crank throws connecting to connecting rods so that each up-and-down stroke of the pistons is a twist of the shaft, a simplicity of powerful mechanism employed in every modern Chevrolet crossover. Early and lower output versions are based on tough cast iron Crankshaft construction, while high horsepower trims step up to forged steel. This Crankshaft distinction makes a difference in strength rather than layout, as both styles appear across successive Traverse model years without any change to overall engine architecture. Precision machining allows bearing journals to ride on an oil film for years, but skipped oil changes or debris infiltrating the oil can scar those surfaces and cause excess clearance, metal-to-metal knock, and send nasty vibrations through the cabin. Although built to last the life of a Chevrolet, once severely worn the Crankshaft must be replaced, a demanding task involving removing the entire engine from the Traverse and carefully torquing numbered main bearing caps to factory specs.
