Air horn help
 

Anyone who may be running truck air horns, I am needing a little advice. I have a dual horn Grover truck horn (1 is 14", 1 is 19"). I am piecing together items to install this on my Ram and found this compressor/tank on Ebay. Anyone know if this would be a good match for the horns?

I have an 8gal tank already but am short a compressor of some sort to hardwire to this tank, then I ran accross this combo deal and wandering what anyone thinks.
Thanks for any input.

Air compressor/Tank

I have a large in bed tool box and that is where I have planned on mounting a tank and compressor. They would all be out of the weather and a fair amount of security too. (atleast they would have to work longer to get them.)

I think that would be a fine pump if you have room to mount it somewhere. It *may* not keep up with the horns if you use them continuously, but should be fine for 'normal' usage and should have a fairly quick recovery time.

I have a REAL small Thomas 12V pump feeding 2, 30" truck air tanks. It takes about an hour to fill both tanks from 0 psi to 140 psi, but the horn will last longer than I need it to with those 2 tanks. For what it's worth, I have a single, 30" 'Grover Emergency Horn', the same thing that's used on firetrucks. I used to rebuild firetrucks so the horn and a few other things inside the truck cab were used sorta as a 'demonstration' kind of thing. :rolleyes:

I wouldn't hesitate on that ebay pump tho.

chaikwa.

What!? You didn't tell me you had that! I didn't get to play with it! Give those horses (and some neighbors) a little character builder.

This is what I'm running and its more then enough. It recharges the tanks within seconds. Mine came as a kit, horms, tank, pump, hose, fittings, etc...
