Got my airhorn on late last nite. As I was driving thru the country, I kind of merged up parallel with a locomotive, I laid down on horn, and the train blasted me back. Cool! I'll try to behave, but it is gonna be hard to.

 

pretty cool isn't it!?

 

Where did you get the horn Nelrod? How much and how hard was it to install? Where did you install it? Ive been looking into one since the day I got the truck.

 

I have access to a big truck junk yard....

I got two horns off a peterbuilt, 5 gallon air tank, actuator valve, all for $30...

5 per horn,

and then

$20 for the tank

anf he threw in the valve..


This was in South Georgia

 

pics??????????( enough ?'s to make the requisite ten charactors)

 

Leave them poor school busses trying to cross the RR tracks alone.

 

Mine is a Grover 3 piece horn, a viair 280-C compressor, and I only have a 3 gallon tank, I need a bigger one. I bought it from a friend that had it and never put it on. I don't know where he got it. Just google locomotive or air horns, theres lots of sites. Hornblasters.com is pretty neat site with complete kits, that's all I know about them though. I love it. I find myself kind of hoping someone drifts toward me while they are talking on their cell phone. I'm actually not mature enough to own one of these, but thankfully I did not get screened. HeHe.

 

cool how about a compressor?

 

I am jealous. I want to mount a York compressor, though. I've BEEN wanting air horns. The OEM horn is downright embarassing. I can't believe they would put that on a 7,000 pound truck. If I do it, I really want to find a way to put a cord in the roof like on the big rigs. That would be so sweet!

 

I've been looking for a boat horn, like the ones on the Carnival cruse lines... I may have to upgrade my front springs for that one.

 

I have not installed htese yet, because of that reason... I plan on mounting compressor and tank where the spare belongs, and just leave the spare in the bed.

I do not have the compressor yet, but I could buy one from there if I wanted to and work it into my serpentine system, but I want the 12V option. I am also gonna plumb in an auxilary air chuck through my back bumper for onboard air capabilities to air up and down myself or motorists...
