Heh.. audible for up to 1 mile...lmao..

 

Funny you should mention that. I stopped by where I work and was showing my truck off to some of my co workers. They were giving me a bad time about how clean it was inside and out. One of them made a comment about the towels that I keep on the seats. I replied that they were there to help keep the leather clean.

One of the ladys that works in the office jumped in to check to see what it was like to be in a larger vehicle (she drives a Honda, but she and her hubby want to buy a truck and 5th wheel) I was showing her all of the upgrades that I had done to the vehicle. I handed her the key, told her to turn the ignition switch on, then with her left foot, push the little button tucked up behind the parking brake pedal.

She asked what was going to happen, and all I told her is that it was the latest upgrade option available for the F250's, just push the button!

I don't know which was louder, her screaming or the horns blaring! After she calmed down, she said, "now I know why you have towels on the seats.....don't worry about the wet spot"

Gotta love air horns!

 

Can you get a sound clip?

 

friend of mine has 3 train horns and wants to sell them to me for $500. HMMM he says he paid way more and it comes with everything....It is really loud he is driving around campus and I can feel the vibrartions in my dorm. Good deal? I might be a little to expensive for me if anyone else is interested i can help...?

 

no it is only like a .5 second delay for the air compresor, but when you hit the lock button on the key fob it will not build up enough pressure to be to loud about as loud as the stock horns

 

I had my dealer turn off the horn "chirp" when locking the first time but it will chirp with a quick second push of the button.

Just another option. BTW most dealers don't like doing it and will probably say it can't be done. The only way I found out was my brother that works as a mech at Ford dealership. The dealership said it couldn't be done so my bro asked his alarm buddy to do it for me. I don't know why they do that but maybe it's a money thing where they don't get paid for it. It's more of a customer satisfaction thing than a warranty issue, I guess.

Have fun with your new horns...

 

Well, how difficult can it possibly be to install the compressor with hoses?

At least we have some room in the F150 engine bay for some extra parts.

 

My dad has a train horn in his big ole truck that will scare a black man white! It does however have a compressor and an air tank, But its all tucked underneath the bed of the truck! You cant see anything and you can eigther have it welded on like my dads or you can buy the bolt up kit.

I dont have a pic of the horn set-up, But heres his beast.

 

I searched pone time on the net for something like "air horn dukes of hazzard" and found a bunch of them

 

This Poncho knows how to search. I have seen him reply with more helpful searches than anyone in my reviews of subjects on the board. Give him a

 

All the trucks don't beep when you press the button the first time. The first push just locks, another push chirps the horn.

 

That's what I thought?

 

I may be able to get a sound clip with my digital camera. I'll give it a shot this weekend. (its supposed to stop raining for a day or two)

 

If you would like to hear some good train horns in action theres a video on WWW.STREETFIRE.NET that has some clown goin around town and blowin a train horn like my old mans!

 

I'm usually not so much a fan of dualies, but that is one sick ride!
