Crankshaft Gear
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Crankshaft Gear, also known as the Timing Gear, is a vital part of a commercial truck's engine. This gear is responsible for synchronizing the rotation of the crankshaft and camshaft, ensuring that the engine's valves open and close at the correct time. The Crankshaft Gear is typically made of high-strength steel or cast iron, and is designed to withstand the extreme forces and temperatures generated by the engine. Without the Crankshaft Gear, the engine's timing would be off, leading to poor performance, reduced fuel efficiency, and potentially catastrophic engine damage. As such, it is important to ensure that the Crankshaft Gear is properly maintained and replaced as needed. If you notice any unusual engine noises or performance issues, it may be a sign that the Crankshaft Gear needs to be inspected or replaced.
