Who's into horns? Big rig horns or train horns?
Got a surprise on the way.

I would love a louder horn for the HD. What do you have in mind?

I saw a train horn installed on a Ram dooley the other day. WOW! They had to remove the spare to have a place to in stall it. Sounded great!


Hope you have a tank and compressor. The compressor only setups leave a lot to be desired.

This is a Nathan/AirChime K3LA Loco horn... A little paint, a nice valve, and a N2 cylinder should do it. (Been researching). They won't be visible but you might hear them

Thought about lp but was told it would alter the sound and attack the seals.

TxDoc,

I've seen that pic... not you is it?

I've seen the site that pic is from, that guy's more nuts about horns than we are about our trucks!!

Hoot, good on ya, I've always wanted to put a train horn on my truck. Maybe it'll get them ricers outa my way!

This is what my horn will sound like...

K3LA (http://trainweb.org/mdamtrak199/horns/khorn/csxk3la.mp3)

Very nice Hoot.......ever try one of the "immitation" ones that are usually bought at truck shows????


I'm dyin' to put a nice one on mine, but can't decide which one to get.................would be fun for moving these damn L.I. bimbos outta the way!!! ;)


Tom

I running a triple train horn setup on my KW.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif You should see the eyes on people when they hear a set of them on a semi let alone a pickup. They are also chrome plated and can be bought at www.iowa80.com (http://www.iowa80.com) for $149.99 plus shipping. They are also great people to deal with. Installation was an ease but you have to spend the extra money and get the valve to control them, a switch just don't make them sound like they should. I'm cosidering running a set on my truck after I get my air tank and compressor on for my air bags.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Yeah, Hoot! Chrome those babies up, mount 'em on the hood, gas 'em up with propane and put a barbeque piezo sparker in each one. Not only the sound of a fast freight train, but tongues of BLUE FLAME!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

Those imitation ones work pretty well and can be installed much easier than the one I'm getting.

A friend of mine has one on his Dmax. It's real loud and has a pretty authentic note.... but you can't miss the sound of the real thing.

My install may well need to be easily removable. I may have to set it up in the bed. I'll see when I get it. That's why I got the three chime. The five chimers are gigantic. I figure I'll use my lp tank platform to mount it.

I'm unloading the Powershot system if anybody is interested.

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif Been looking at the Hadley - H00964H horns or the Nathan - K3LA's for awhile myself. Did some extensive research back on the TDP and came up with a new set, compressor, electric valve, tank for about $500. and change. There was a long post over there about where everyone was mounting the tanks, horns, etc. Anyway, the $$$ was a bit much for me at the time so I had to pass. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif





I think 56 Nomad has a set of Hadley's.

I got the Nathan Horn for $330 shipped. Yea it's a lot but it's as cheap as you can get in the real horn market.

The better 3 chime fakes are $299 new.

For air right now I'm still thinking. A Viair with a tank would be awesome.

Here's my buddies setup....

Not mine. I ran across it on the page below. Apparently, they work for Amtrack and have a little group with experience. I wonder what kind of laws each state has that may impact a horn's loudness?

Here is the page http://trainweb.org/mdamtrak199/

Laws...

You ain't kidding. It would not serve as a replacement for my stock horn. Just for fun and an attention grabber on rare occasions. Well maybe not rare, after all trains do still exist.

RATDOC,

I have no idea which sounds better but even if I did, it's opinion.

very LOUD indeed!

Oh baby...

Got my horn today....

AirChime K3LA

K3LA is used on freight locos.... 3 chimes (horns)
K5LA is the classic Amtrak... its got 5 chimes.

Not as big as I thought. I blasted it tonight....
What a beautiful note. Not like the obnoxious trucker horns. This thing plays B major (D#,F#,B).
As usual here I go on a tangential hobby......

Now it's figuring out the air supply and mounting. Out of sight.

You can buy these for the same price as the imitation ones. Just have to find the right seller. New they go for over $600.

This isn't mine but it's what I got...

I have some good options. Unloaded my propane tank so I have a platform alread to go in the bed for a nice size air tank/compressor... I'm still throwing ideas around. I go surf fishing an having air on board will be great for airing tires. Viair makes the 550C 12v air compressor... costs $300 though. Considering that. Not much room under the hood for anything. I may get rid of the platform altogether and put a pair of smaller tanks inside of the bed in front of the wheelwell.

THIS IS A 100% DUTY CYCLE COMPRESSOR WITH 2.9 CFM, 150 PSI, 30 AMP MAX DRAW.

Pictures please! Like to see how they fit in there. I'd hate to have the sound muffled by putting them in the bed, covered by the tonneau.

Tell me about your compressor and tank... and would you do it different? In other words is there plenty of air for a long doppler effect flyby http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif


I'll tell you what... Brought my K3LA into work to show the guys. First guy looks at them and says "Hey nice" Everybody else is rolling their eyes at me.

I plug her in and warn everybody to watch out. I nail it..... the first fellow comes running down with this huge smile on his face. Everybody else comes running up with big grins. The guys in the other part of the building asked why there is a train so close....

This thing really kicks. Music to my ears. Yes I know..... be careful. We talkin 135db+Edited by: hoot

Will do. Good idea Shaun.

I took that shot tonight. Wanna sit in the back an hit it while I drive by? hehe

I still have to do the mounting yet before I go over there and show him who's BOSS.

Probably under the truck. I got an awesome deal on the tank. Free. Place in Edgemoor only took my credit card # as deposit. Charged me $15 for the N2. $72 for the regulator.

$88 bucks.... forget the air compressor. At $15 a refill it'll take years to payback an air compressor setup. By that time it would have been worn out.

BTW.... if I blast it at my house you might hear it.Edited by: hoot

Hey Hoot,

Now ya just have to figure out how you're going to blast that thing from inside the cab.

Hey Hoot,

Now ya just have to figure out how you're going to blast that thing from inside the cab.

Neighbors.... no... I've only blasted them in the garage a couple times. And i won't blast them unless it's as a demo and i know who's around. These are dangerous, seriously. I didn't get these to pee people off... well you know. There could be one or two times where I might have to wake somebody up.

I'm mounting the valve in the passenger compartment. I'll have full cab control. N2 is nice cause a small leak isn't really dangerous. The tank will double as aux air supply. Great for the beach.

If you want a hand mounting the control give me a ring. I'd be happy to help out.

Wow could you freak people out. Get one of the spinning spot lights the trains have. Mount the horns. Turn off your headlights and come blazing down main street....horns blairing and lights spinning....


People would run for their lives....hahaha

Then later on that night drive down residential neigborhoods at 3am with the horns going off. People would fall out of their beds thinking when the hell did they put train tracks across the street?

Well it's all hooked up.

Found a perfect place. Under the truck with the diaphrams sitting inside the frame rail, horns aiming at the driveshaft. One piece of steel holds it perfectly. Valve is mounted on the trans hump next to my right leg.

Pics coming.

Tell you what... with 2200lbs psi available... only using 100 psi, they sound incredible. The real valve lets me just give a "toot" without scaring anybody but pullin it full open is insane. Believe it or not my wife gets a kick out of it. I had a group of teenagers give me the "light-em-up" signal at a movie theater parking lot. Instead I wailed em. It was the funniest thing you ever saw.

Looks good hoot. Personally I would figure out something different for the valve though. Maybe a cable pulling the valve and a spring to pull it back? I just don't care for the looks of that in the cab. I am sure it is a concern of yours as well. Is this permanant or do you have something else in mind?

Hoot you've gone completely insane .... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Wacko.gif

Aren't you blocking the natural flow of air to the fuel cooler a bit ??

Hoot your going to scare your driveshaft to death.

Second child hood

Max Power... The picture of the valve is with the seat all the way back. In the second picture only the handle shows (seat in driving position). The pictures themselves actually make it look more obvious than in real life.. i guess from the camera flash. The black hoses are really hardly noticable in everday driving. They blend in pretty well with the carpet. I could have punched holes in the floor or put the hoses under the carpet but I'm just not that concerned about it looking that great. I think it looks fine.

I also don't fuss as much as some about asthetics. I like the valve showing.

The rest of you guys are jealous http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif geno, I'm way past my second childhood.
Guarantee you hear it and you're hooked... MAC... it's N2 not N02. Totally inert.

NICE! you got the P horns. The high low configuration allows you to mount your facing forward. Mine a re a little wide for that. Found out later it really doesn't matter. They are so loud you can't tell if you're in front or along side.

How does the tank do with a long blast? What Viar model is that? What are you using as a valve? Relay?Edited by: hoot

What do you use for a valve?





*edit hoot beat me to it.Edited by: Max Power

I have a 3 gallon tank, but think I will add another. I have a fitting on the tank to attach an air hose to fill tires. The tank is large enough for a long blast, cant use it too much, I live in the city. The relay is a 60 amp continuous duty marine solinoyd. Viair 550C compressor and Viar valve. I have a momentary switch on the over head console.

http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/uploads/AFZ_DSC00140.JPG

So, flduramax, what's your favorite horn usage? To scare the c**p out of the Bozos that stop on the tracks during rush hour on Commercial Blvd?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gifhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif

That and the ones that like to change lanes with out using turn signals, or those that decied to make a right turn from the left lane.

flduramax,

Very nice... What's your opinion of the 550C compressor? That's the biggest continuous duty compressor they offer.

Also... you might want to consider a modulating valve instead of a full on/off valve. You can do that cheap and effectively without doing what I did by using a regular ball valve. Modulating makes all the difference.

I like the compressor. I have not had any problems with it. I have set to auto fill the tank with a 150 PSI pressure switch.

I like the compressor. I have not had any problems with it. I have set to auto fill the tank with a 150 PSI pressure switch.

Last question...

How long does it take to go from 0-150 psi with that tank?

According to Viair's website, 2min 40sec. It takes less than a minute to recover from a horn blast

I have an old 12 volt OOGAH horn that I have passed from truck to truck. It is loud, and is really a surprise in this day and age. I would love to get another one for my other car, But all I can find are cheap plastic ones. Any suggestions appreciated.

Jay

If you ever get pulled over, let the horns loose as the officer is walking up next to your truck ...he'd probably drop his ticket book, wet his pants and run out in traffic and get hit by a car. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif Then again, maybe not ... http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif

Hoot, you may have started something here. I was blabbering to my wife this weekend about how cool your setup was. Well, as an early suprise birthday present from her, I got a $30 Wolo "Big Boss" horn kit. Kind of cheesy, but VERY loud and distintive!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

Now for a silly question!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif Do both horns have to be facing the same direction and be sitting next to each other? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Embarrased.gif The only place I had time to mount them last night was under the bumper reusing the license plate bolts. As a result they are spaced about 8" apart and face in opposite directions. Kind of sounds more like a cross between a train and a cruise ship. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Geek.gif

Thanks!

P.S. Hoot, see what you started!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Hey FL if you have the time take a ride down to GAW Diesel in Miami. Besides building some sick trucks they have complete train horns in stock. Their number is 305-477-5433

I have been there. I bought all of my parts in Fort Lauderdale at Speed and Truck World. They keep everything in stock too. I hate driving down to Miami. The traffic is terrible.

Any sound clips of these awesome horns. I am still laughing about what problemchild said about scaring the drive shaft. I am still cracking up. Every time I think about that I crackup.


I want a big horn but I can't fork out 300 bones. Any suggestions for a 100-150? Good sound also.

My horn was used. New horns like it are $600+ just for the horn.

You can get some decent setups for $300 and under but not much less considering you need air.

smshiver,

No I didn't change anything. In this thread, two of us have posted pics. flduramax has different horns and they are mounted different than mine.

The nitrogen tank I'm using is still at like 600 psi. It's been in for over a month now. I'm surprised it lasts as long as it does.

Give me a link to that mp3. I'd like to here it myself. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Question.gif It must be somebody elses cause I haven't recorded mine.

You guys are costing me a fortune, but truth be known I have always wanted a set of Amtrack horns.

Scored a great deal on a perfect set of K5LA’s this weekend. The guy threw in two complete sets of diaphragms in case I would ever need them and a full set of new o-rings for the manifold.

Found the guy via E-Bay, he lives right here in Kansas City area and has gaylords full of horns, but this was his ONLY set of K5LA’s which is what I wanted.

OMG, these things sound soooo sweet and soooo loud.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif Will try to score me a nice 12 volt compressor at a major swap meet this weekend.

I feel like a kid on Christmas morninghttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif

Here’s a clip on how they sound on a train:
