Took some pictures of the horn install. If you go to my "Reader's Rig" and click on "2005 CTD 3500" you will see the tank and componets. Starting from the rear of the truck, all componets are mounted on the passenger side. The tank is mounted under the bed (to the bed frame rails). All other componets are mounted to the rocker cavity under the passenger side. In front of the tank is the Thomas air pump, the pressure gauge, and not pictured is the pressure switch. It is mounted in series, on the air hose, just in front of the pressure gauge. Next is the horn solenoid. The wiring for all of this come through the cavity, below the passenger rocker panel, and out through the taped up holes. In front of the horn solenoid is the 24" air horn. Again, it is monted on the rocker cavity. The silver brackets you see are the running board brackets. It's tough to get good pictures of this install, but I hope this helps...

Well if you want to use a electric valve, you could fined the wire from the horn button, and but a 2 position switch in. One wire continues on to the horn wiring and the other side to a relay. Use the relay to power the electric valve. This way you can hide the switch if you want and you have a nice clean install in the cab. Wish I knew the wire to use, but I will find out!

Air Horn kits

You could get a hadley kit from camping world. They offer roof mount, under hood mount (both are horn button type) or lanyard type. All for around $200 or so. I saw them last weekend in their store. The kits are complete with all required parts. They are on the web as well, just search for camping world.



If building a set youself use the horn wire on the horn itself to actuate them. There are two leads for two horns on the pass side in the front.
