Was wondering if any of y’all installed a train horn yet on the trucks and where?

 

Got a trail boss and want some ideas of where to mount it and what kit to buy!

 

thanks!

I've been thinking about it, but it's very low on my list of things to do. Would be an "appropriate" response for all the a**holes in California.

Oh boy.. just installed the HornBlasters Conductors kit. Oh my is it so much fun. Havent laughed this hard in a long time. So worth it, so loud and sounds exactly like a train. Wow is all i have to say...oh wow!

 

Installed horns at rear of bed above the drive shaft, and compressor under rear passenger door to the frame. Not that bad.. tight spot to get the horns mounted... just took a test drive..still laughing.. get one!

I have a guy that works for me, he has to be late 50’s. He has the train horns installed on his truck. He thinks it’s the coolest thing and sooooo funny, we just think he’s a doushebah.

Grab a set of truck nuts while you're at it. It'll complete the ensemble.

Thanks for the input, send me a link to the truck nuts please?

Tell ya what. I had a Semi pass me on the Interstate yesterday and got half way past and moved over into my lane forcing me to the shoulder. I hit the weak OEM horn to no avail. I bet is the sound of a train would have got a reaction. 😉

My father’s fantasy was mounting machine guns in his grill. And oil releases in the back. Just like train horns. Using them could cause trouble. Especially encountering each other.

I agree that there are such situations where a louder horn can be advantageous.  Air horns used for amusement would have exceptionally limited application unless joy is derived from hurting others.  I do remember in the late 60's  an attention hungry guy in my high school often announced his departure at the end of the day in his air horn equipped '57 Chev.  We'd all stand around, watch and laugh (at him)!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Average Assembly 4.8%   That's the likelihood of a light duty vehicle reaching 250,000 miles. Link below has the stats on this. Among pickups the 350 series (Dodge)  and higher (450 Ford) are most likely and nothing American built in the lighter trucks pegs a number higher than the overall average.  200K and up is the stomping grounds of Asian vehicles. Toyota Sequoia the leader at 39.1% probability.      https://www.autoweek.com/news/a68886903/vehicles-most-likely-to-last-over-250000-miles/   Likelihood drops dramatically at 100,000 miles of reaching even 150,000 miles. 250,000 is deep in the tail of the curve.    I've been told by the 'experts' that I don't need oils of the caliber I use. My high viscosity is damaging my motors. Ash content it to high and WILL foul plugs and kill cats and O2's. I don't need that much ZDP; my choice is over added and not cutting edge. I change it to often. I baby them to much.    Three Honda's reached 200K + and none used oil. All Red Line motors. All sold to friends or family. One Toyota reached 300K using oil, Pennzoil. Dizzy 300K using QSUD until it cashed the rings at 80K then whatever but often ever since. Did you know this engine still sports the OEM timing chain and is dead silent? Pepper spitting into the wind short of 200K, Red Line and changed often. Uses zero oil. A HPFP and a pinion seal. Still using most parts it left Fort Wayne with. So 50% of my vehicles have gone past 250K and 100% of the last half dozen past 200K. Of these two using "shelf oils' did so using abnormal oil and the four that used a premium boutique oil did not. There might be something there the experts have missed. 🤔

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      It's not that it sits for extended periods. I drive it every couple of weeks. However, I did consider draining the DEF and replacing it.    Don't you get a "Poor quality DEF warning" if its bad?

      Try draining the def and relacing with new if it has been sitting for a long time. Def does go bad after a little while.

      2015 Silverado with HUD retrofit/upgrade.

      By Thestonedone · Posted

      Thanks @Viktorrocks15 if you are still out there.   I followed your instructions and worked out great, went to the scrap yard and procured 2016 escalade cluster, hud, bezel, and switch. Got lucky and found a Camaro in the u-pull with the HUD bezel.   I made my own harness with these diagrams: https://www.gmupfitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/23_Escalade_Escalade_ESV_Electrical_Body_Builder_SM_en_US_2022OCT25.pdf   I used escalade cluster because its the best one that will work IMO. Still need to get it programmed but it looks really good.
