This is from my personal experience but I lost my horns capability to "honk" a little while ago. I replaced he horn, it worked for maybe 2 or 3 test "honks". I ended up cutting the factory harness at the plug and just wired my own connectors to it. Mine looked really bad and I thought maybe over the 16 to 17 years thats she has been used, that maybe the connecting harness went. Well after by-passing the stock harness and just crimping some ends on her she has worked fine for 3 weeks now. Just a thought. Sorry I don't have a good way of testing for you.

I could never keep a stock horn working either...

I replaced mine with this:

It's my favorite part of the truck.

Actually it's over $300 for a train horn and a 3 gallon OBA kit to run it. You can get just the horn for about $140 if you bring your own air.

Like I said, I love it and IMO it was worth every penny for it...

Overdrive, is the train horn as loud as a real train horn?

If so that's nuts, we have a train that goes by our house over 1 mile away and i can still hear the horn easy.

It's every bit as loud as a real one. It has the same pitch and tone as the Leslie 3 chime train horns do. I blew it at a train once and he blew back, they sounded exactly the same. If anything, mine was a little louder.

An old man cut me off once and I blew it at him. He locked up all 4 wheels and swerved off the road.
