They don't quite have the train horn sound to me though.
IRRC. the ones that the truck parts guy I drove for sold had five "chimes" (Horns) but they were air. Those sounded real good.

The truck sits higher than stock because of the springs and spacers I have up front. The truck didn't drop hardly at all with the load

Anyone have a Grover Stuttertone on their truck?

They have a "Get Out Of My Way" authority to them.

I really like the emergency vehicle tone. found a company online, airhornsoftexas.com that has some pretty reasonable stuff similar to the grover's

The metal on the 91-93's seem to be thinner then the earlier models. My 93 drivers door was toasted in that area as well. I made up a big load bearing brace for the inside of the door once I welded in new material.

Haha, my old lady realized long ago that my truck and my dog come first. She's even mentioned that she's afraid one day I'll trade her on craigslist for truck parts, haha.
