Continuous thermal cycling induces severe heat soak, deteriorating internal copper brushes and pitting solenoid contact plates. Over time, high electrical resistance builds up, causing characteristic single-click no-crank conditions, sluggish hot restarts, or complete drive gear engagement failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to resolve heat-induced failure, this permanent magnet gear reduction (PMGR) unit produces 1.4 kW of cranking power while minimizing electrical amperage draw from the 12-volt system. It features high-grade copper windings, an insulated heavy-duty solenoid switch, and a hardened 12-tooth pinion drive gear that engages the ring gear smoothly to prevent tooth shear. Tested under dynamic load conditions, it drops directly onto the factory mounting flange with stock terminal orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1 Starter Motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x: auto; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctable width=\"100% style=\" border-collapse: collapse border: solid font-size: min-width:\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e3.6L LLT V6 \/ Lambda\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e281-288 hp \/ 266-270 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e17986, 17997, 12588493, 12598756, 12598757\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse (LS, LT, LTZ, Premier trims with 3.6L V6)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions \u0026amp; Fitment Warnings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDoes this fit the Lambda Traverse?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, this is a direct fit for the 2009-2017 Chevrolet Traverse equipped with the \u003cstrong\u003e3.6L LLT\u003c\/strong\u003e engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat diagnostic check should be completed before replacing the starter?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify that your 12V battery tests at full charge (minimum 12.6 volts) and inspect all battery terminals and engine ground straps for corrosion before starter replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Chevrolet Reliability Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered for family transport and heavy towing duties, this starter assembly delivers the rugged cranking reliability demanded by full-size crossover utility vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67898402898168,"sku":"DS-E3OIA44AA","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/starter-for-chevrolet-traverse-2009-2017-3-6l-1.jpg?v=1793320243","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/de\/products\/starter-for-chevrolet-traverse-2009-2017-3-6l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
