All I know if someone uses a train horn on me they should not be surprised if i over react and take a bat out of my box and remodel there truck and them if they decide to get in the way of the remodel they might become of the job. To me people with train horns are more disrespectful than people that straight pipe their truck and chop off the muffler.

 

Those types of people I always think are missing something in their lives and just want attention and to be the most annoying they can be for that attention. Maybe there dads did not give them that attention or they have a small penis lol .

That is all I am going to say on this thread now because I have offended a few people but its true their is no reason for a train horn besides for the attention and that attention is the wrong attention in less your motive is to really piss someone off but their is far easier ways to do that and less expensive ways.

Sounds like ya got anger issues

Hornblasters, I have a set of train horns. And an onboard compressor, I also got it "T'd" off at the compressor with a quick connect with a 50 foot coil hose tucked away in tool box in the box. Came in handy plenty of times as did the horns which I mounted pointing straight down behind the grill. Best $600 I spent on that truck, when people screw up they KNOW it. Ahahah

Also if you got the cash look into K5LA...authentic train horn, set you back over $1000 but the sound is amazing. Lol

 

 

Thats how i'm gonna wire mine. It will be useful to have onboard air for helper bags and reinflating tires

 

Ya, I have a few different connections with mine...I use it for the ride rites too. It has literally saved people's asses couple times with leaky tires zIn the middle of nowhere. I just used a momentary switch by my knees for the horns and a illuminated toggle for the compressor. Made a little wooden box in one corner on my tool box for the compressor, relays and wiring. Works good, even in -40 below.

 

To the OP check out eBay, they have decent prices on train horn/compressor kits.

train horns are for wimps... :lol:

 

the fun you could have on a foggy night.. :rollin:

 

 

Huh? I couldn't hear you. LOL

I used to have an air horn from a semi behind the grill of my last truck. Had some fun with that one. Not so much on the street to piss people off, but when passing someone I know in their yard. Or pulling in their driveway.

LMAO!!!! Could you imagine tailgating a slow driving blue hair and then zapping them with a fog horn??? They'd have a heart attack and die in the fastlane.

For the best info on trainhorns, go to www.trainhornforums.com

 

Here's a link to my page / install on there.

I have upgraded since and now have 2- compressors in the back to put air back into the tanks faster.

 

Besides using this setup for my horns i use the air all the time for side jobs that require nail gun use, air grinder , impact , and ratchet.

 

Last year i remodeled a kitchen and bath and used noting but my truck to run my air tools. Was so nice not to have to lug the pancake on a job site and just be able to run a line to the tank and ready for anything.

 

These are the updated pics that arent the above album yet.

BTW this year they added a loudest horn contest, and i won 2 gift cards :)

 

 

 

Here's a guy i met at the parade 2 years ago. I envy his setup!

Here's a horn i will own one day!

 

 

I have this identical horn. Hopefully i can get mine tuned like this one day. I will have to mount it up top tho and let the sound be free instead of the restricted / hidden setup i run now..

      Acceptably cheap tires?

      By Atlas · Posted

      Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.

      Is your l8t engine bay super dusty?

      By rjgvt · Posted

      I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.

      4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.

      2020 Sierra 2500 windows rolling down

      By JohnRoy · Posted

      2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
