I am installing a compressor in the bed along with an air tank. Did you guys install a ball valve? Where? I have a Graham White Valve....looks really cool...but rather large to install inside my truck and still have it look good. Did you bring your air lines in through the firewall? What size? 3/8ths? Can't thank you guys enough!

I have a similar set-up in my jeep. I have a york A/C compressor running my on board air system. I have a dump truck brake tank mounted under my skid plate, so I can use air tools while on the trail.
I am using a Wolo air valve to operate my horns. It is electrical and VERY easy to install. No lines coming inside, and it is hooled to my factory horn switch on the steering wheel.
Here's a pic of my hornshttp://hometown.aol.com/ericselz/images/mvc-094s.jpg

I got my switch at pep boys, but it is probably easier to get one online..

So can you throttle the amount of air that goes to your horn with that electrical switch like you can a ball valve?

No,
The valve is electric and is on or off. It was easy for me, because that is my only horn :muahaha:

That is what I thought. Wasn't sure if there was something new that I hadn't seen.
