Hey there,

 

So I've decided to buy a train horn kit for my truck after hearing one of my friends blast his ;)

I'm looking at products made my Siege Engineering, a company located out of MA who seems to have great product.

They sell train horn kits containing all the necessities: horns, air tank, compressor, hoses, valve, etc.

Their kits are also verrry well priced compared to the competition.

 

I am trying to decide between two of their products: "The Hammer 4" --and-- "The Anvil"

Both are similar in price but the Anvil has a deeper tone and seems to be louder.... however it is a huge setup and I dont know where I would be able to mount it on my truck: (15'' W, 12'' H, 18''L).

Anyone have any ideas for a NNBS besides the roof???

 

The Hammer 4 is still really loud, just has a higher pitch. It wouldnt be as difficult to find room for. (6''W, 7''H, 15'' L)

 

Here is a clip of both of them:

Any opinions?? or experiences with installation on NNBS??

 

Please Help!!!

I have a friend that collected them for a while. I bought a bunch of them (the originals) off ebay for him until I convinced him to get a computer and ebay account. He hooked up a few to run and they had a pretty long range mating call. First time I heard one on a car was about 5 yrs ago on a Honda Civic. Loud a hell. You might check you local laws. Some places it's illlegal and they'll write you for a couple different civil code violations.

 

The place I've seen them mounted was behind the grill.

Anyone happen to know about the legalities in MD? The strategis separates 2 sound pretty good and look like theyd fit well.

I vote Anvil. They sound pretty close to mine. I have these: http://www.hornblasters.com/products/detai...er-4-train-horn

 

I mounted a Viair 380C in my truckbox with an 8 gallon tank. My truck is lifted 6" so I don't have a skidplate on the front crossmember - so I fabricated a mounting rack for the horns to fit above the crossmember facing forward. The valve and splitter are mounted to the crossmember. Not the showiest install - but quite functional. Bad pics - but are the ones I have handy.

I won't add these to my truck but it is funny as hell to watch people jump in their seats when a guy has these and lays on it. I crack up every time! Have fun!!! :smoker:

Thnx for all the responses...

But as I was saying i have no idea where I would be able to mount "The Anvil". Definitely not enough room under the hood or right behind the grill.

 

Someone mentioned bolting it the the frame under the bed of the truck but I dont think the sound would be as I want it from under there + I dont want to worry about sumberging them / getting mud in them...

 

May just go with "Hammer 4" for dimensions.

 

Any IDEAS????

So I think I made up my mind on the Train Horn decision..

 

Going with the Siege Engineering "Kong Mk2"

I actually talked with an employee from the company today and he explained that it is one of the more reliable horns, while also being one of the loudest :)

 

He explained that there would be plenty of room for all the components in a full size truck.

 

Soooooo now to play the ebay game and try to get a deal haha

 

Thnx to everyone for all their help :thumbs:

Scare someone into a heart attack or into a accident I would hate to fight that in court or have to live with it. Having fun out of scaring the hell out of people is a little juvenile isnt it?

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
