Anyone know where I can get a good loud horn like a train/air horn for my truck? (People like walkin in front of me on the way outa school and revving the engine isnt working anymore)And is there anything special I need to do once I get one or do I just put it in the same spot?

I take it you have on board air all ready as most all truck and train horns are air horns

Last I looked people on foot had the right of way they do here in Pa

Internet, other than that, you could probably pull a horn of a semi truck or something like that

Just be sure to get out of there quick after you pull it off. Those truckers can be mean SOBs!

sinner

Hahaha that's a good one

They do here too but not when they walk in front of me going down the road and walk slow cause they know I was behind them lol and I just want somethin loud cause my one I got now sounds like it should be on a little kids bike lol

i think once you see the cost and the amount of work involved to install an air horn setup, you'll quickly change your mind.

i hate my weak ass horn as well though. i think a high/low setup is what i'm gonna go with, at least have a real horn sound. i know the caddilacs have a beefy horn sound, a trip to the junk yard could yeild you something like that.

A bullet-resistant windshield might be something you'll end up needing ...

My guess is a load horn will P/O some tweeker's, and your rig becomes a target. Just saying. I like my truck. I go with the flow. Chill.

Some days I love the stock horn, and some days I wish it sounded more like my '92 camry.

Hey why not install a DPDT switch and be able to select between two- every occasion covered?

All this talk reminds me of our 69 fire bus with the spool up fire horn on top of it... Hmmmm....

Maybe your horns are just old and tired new horns are not that expensive.

I keep a few on hand for just that you can get them in different variations.

Jake28296

Probably is there a certain one that louder than the rest?

The horn will agitate them. Just lock up the brakes and stop an inch away from the careless pedestrians? May need a nice tube bumper though.

Better than a horn would be a PA system. Had one in my 86, works great for getting your point across.

Jake28296

Definitely is next resort lol and I have looked everywhere for a push bar so I can hit stuff but can't find one

Thought about PA system but I don't have a good place to put it

just go get a horn from a f150-250-350. train horns are obnoxious and serve no benefit other than to piss people off. Were not 16-18 years old anymore.

So you don't know where to put a PA but you have the room for air horn and compressor?

Electronic air horn. One button on the dash, amp under the seat, speaker behind front bumper.

I picked up 2 horns from a 60s ford pu. Kept the stock horn as well. Wired em all together on a new fused circuit. Pretty loud setup, especially in a parking garage.
