It the 65 amp chromed GM Delco alt. OEM 35 amp didn't whine. This one installed couple decades ago rebuilt twice (2023 last time) always whined asked mechanic about it said not an issue, couple months ago took it by the shop that did last rebuild for them to hear whine with unit installed they said alt fine no sounds of bad brushes or internal parts so I'm good with it. Older Gent @ATDI 2024 said he worked/repair alt pointed out alt/pulley visually weren't inline with each other, told him all said not an issue, he thought maybe alt where belt attached to pulley & pulley on motor not being perpendicular with each other may be the culprit. Again couple decades since install couple rebuilds always whined (my audio indication it's working/putting out) never caused any charging/battery issues after hundreds of thousands of miles Preventive maintenance we've always have, will stay on top of & address any potential mechanical/electrical or other issues that would create issues. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4p_ydqNlaWWqKw.html

In the 25 years that I had my TR-6 I only accumulated 140,000 miles and that was from 3 trips across the US, east coast to west coast and back, plus Canada to Florida, and Md to NO and back; Up Pike's Peak in CO and around Yellowstone a couple times. And then I drove it to work daily for a couple years when it was my only car.

Driven Riverside, SoCal to Seattle met with 13 others for drive to Boulder, Co. Have driven 22 hrs straight other than pitstop SoCal to Seattle vice versa at least 12 times as we enjoy the tunnel vision no body on the road but us & big rigs Drive at least twice a month when no car related activities going on. There's major TR only events VTR National Convention been to 4 (Boulder, Breckenridge, Seattle, Oregon) Triumphest Cali version 40+ yrs alternates between SoCal/NorCal/Ariz been to 30+.

Residing in Washington (6 hrs north to south 6 hrs west to east) member TYEE TR Club since '81 events drove all over the state. Member of TCSC since '97 same process. Driven solo on majority of north/south routes (101/395/PCH) in Cali quite of few of the connectors (128/266/20/I-5 to 101 to 1) just to see what the road is like 4/9/24 will make 45 yrs of being owned by this TR6 4/12/24 I'll turn 75.

@@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSF Thanks for the very lengthy and detailed reply. I looked at your photos and love what you have done under the hood. I did some of the same when I had my TR; chromed parts and steel braded hoses, etc. I bought my car new in 1974 and then a year or so later bought a factory hardtop off of a TR sitting on a used car lot. Then i bought an overdrive trans from one of my friends. Later bought wire wheels from someone. Used to frequent the junk yards to look for stuff for the car. I sold my TR in 1999 after doing a bunch of work on it. I paid $5K for it new and sold it for $5k. I think I was just tired of driving it with so much traffic around and having been most places I wanted to go in it. Over the 25 years that I had the car I worked on almost everything on the car from the differential to the trunions. At one time we had a TR club, DC Triumph Unlimited, lasted from about 1976 to 1980 when most guys, and ladies, got rid of their cars. We used to drive to Summit Point in West Virginia for sports car races. In 1980 three of us decided to drive across country. That turned out to be a mistake; one of the guys who decided to go a different way had his car blow an oil line in Green River, Colorado. He had to have his car towed back to California for repairs and fly home. The other guy decided that he did not have enough time off work to complete the trip so he split from us in Salt Lake City.

It the 65 amp chromed GM Delco alt. OEM 35 amp didn't whine. This one installed couple decades ago rebuilt twice (2023 last time) always whined asked mechanic about it said not an issue, couple months ago took it by the shop that did last rebuild for them to hear whine with unit installed they said alt fine no sounds of bad brushes or internal parts so I'm good with it. Older Gent @ATDI 2024 said he worked/repair alt pointed out alt/pulley visually weren't inline with each other, told him all said not an issue, he thought maybe alt where belt attached to pulley & pulley on motor not being perpendicular with each other may be the culprit. Again couple decades since install couple rebuilds always whined (my audio indication it's working/putting out) never caused any charging/battery issues after hundreds of thousands of miles Preventive maintenance we've always have, will stay on top of & address any potential mechanical/electrical or other issues that would create issues. kzread.info/dash/bejne/X4p_ydqNlaWWqKw.html

hi
Hello
Social at its best. Wonderful!
Thanks glad you enjoyed TRIUMPH Group Therapy!
I am just curious as to where you drove to, from to accummulate that many miles. Did you do any cross country driving and where to? In the 25 years that I had my TR-6 I only accumulated 140,000 miles and that was from 3 trips across the US, east coast to west coast and back, plus Canada to Florida, and Md to NO and back; Up Pike's Peak in CO and around Yellowstone a couple times. And then I drove it to work daily for a couple years when it was my only car.
Not drove but rather ongoing Drive. Got it from original owner in '79 Seattle, Wa had 86K+ miles on it. Not driven everyday but when I do I drive a lot minimum 2 hrs out 2hrs back each time I start it up. Been to/through 11 western states, Canada. Farthest east Boulder/Breckenridge, Co. Driven Riverside, SoCal to Seattle met with 13 others for drive to Boulder, Co. Have driven 22 hrs straight other than pitstop SoCal to Seattle vice versa at least 12 times as we enjoy the tunnel vision no body on the road but us & big rigs Drive at least twice a month when no car related activities going on. There's major TR only events VTR National Convention been to 4 (Boulder, Breckenridge, Seattle, Oregon) Triumphest Cali version 40+ yrs alternates between SoCal/NorCal/Ariz been to 30+. All TR Drive In Pacific Northwest version alternates between Washington, Oregon, Canada 40+ yrs we've attended 30+ What convinced the original owner to give me the keys @30 told him it will be my 1st Only Last TR6 to keep clean looking like a trailer queen, routine mechanically well maintained & driven. 1st 3 yrs of ownership I'd drive to his business at lunchtime park curbside he'd come out, we'd shake hands I'd pop the hood he'd walk around both of us smiling, shake hands drive off until the next 6 months. Residing in Washington (6 hrs north to south 6 hrs west to east) member TYEE TR Club since '81 events drove all over the state. Member of TCSC since '97 same process. Driven solo on majority of north/south routes (101/395/PCH) in Cali quite of few of the connectors (128/266/20/I-5 to 101 to 1) just to see what the road is like 4/9/24 will make 45 yrs of being owned by this TR6 4/12/24 I'll turn 75. Many upgrades to enhance safety, handling, performance we don't drive for how fast, quick, powerful but for endurance Favs: Long distance touring several hours needle straight up @70 mph OD 2600 rpm. Back road twisties. After 20 yrs relocated from wet/rainy/overcast Seattle to S.W. desert of SoCal in '96 sunny/warm/dry heat year round so I can drive as much as I can while I can when I want 80 degress tomorrow we'll be out indulging in 4 hrs of TR6 N IT current 44+ yrs 395,261 miles towards Goal of 1/2 million miles on same TR6.

@@UCwp7q5nfJxOXx4txsSF Thanks for the very lengthy and detailed reply. I looked at your photos and love what you have done under the hood. I did some of the same when I had my TR; chromed parts and steel braded hoses, etc. I bought my car new in 1974 and then a year or so later bought a factory hardtop off of a TR sitting on a used car lot. Then i bought an overdrive trans from one of my friends. Later bought wire wheels from someone. Used to frequent the junk yards to look for stuff for the car. I sold my TR in 1999 after doing a bunch of work on it. I paid $5K for it new and sold it for $5k. I think I was just tired of driving it with so much traffic around and having been most places I wanted to go in it. Over the 25 years that I had the car I worked on almost everything on the car from the differential to the trunions. At one time we had a TR club, DC Triumph Unlimited, lasted from about 1976 to 1980 when most guys, and ladies, got rid of their cars. We used to drive to Summit Point in West Virginia for sports car races. In 1980 three of us decided to drive across country. That turned out to be a mistake; one of the guys who decided to go a different way had his car blow an oil line in Green River, Colorado. He had to have his car towed back to California for repairs and fly home. The other guy decided that he did not have enough time off work to complete the trip so he split from us in Salt Lake City.
