Mounting Train Horns on 3500 HO

[Cummins2014]

I’ve seen the train horn hype for years on forums, not much on this one thou, but I’ve also never heard anyone blast one off on the road.

Same here . Plus I see no use for one , there is a lot of things I’d rather spend my money on .

I can only imagine the vanity plate on this one. A few ideas.

I think this sums up train horns very well .

Maybe it’s a back East thing

Nah... that's the Carolina T#at Squat.... I highly doubt your train horn(s) will wake these folks up, clearly they have more money and time than sense.... Just saying...

Usually 2T of stock feed doesnt make my truck look like that.

A lot of the youngsters here in the county I live in have their trucks squatted. Most all are Chevy’s and they also have the ultra-loud exhaust that sounds like a jackhammer on steroids. The fellows at work comment that all of them they see have Robertson county tags. I posted this pic a while back with the caption “it takes one to tow one”…

May as well chime in with this Tyota Turd*Mobile.........look close enough, and you’ll see it’s riding on some GM 20’s......chittttttttt, dawwwwgggggg

Snapped that pic in St Augustine, FL last October.

Why??!!
I know its their vehicle but if you need to be stupid to be cool, well it proves that your stupid.
Train horns are WAY cool compared to this...

this is like rollin coal...childish....it's very annoying, illegal and possibly a way to get sued if you cause hearing lost or some kind of accident.

Train horns will save lives? Who knew?

Yep, loud horns do. Use my horn all the time. Couldn't tell you how many idiots it saved me from. The louder the better. I don't think you guys drive much or know much about horns or why vehicles have horns for the past 100 years. lol next you will wonder why emergency vehicles have sirens. I suppose you just let someone drift into your lane and hit you? Not I, I lay on the horn and they jerk it back over. To each there own I guess. Why are sirens so loud? Riddle me that. Lol

In all seriousness, I believe some of you are thinking air/train horns equal for play. While there is definitely some out there like that, I use my horn for good, not for fun. Would do the same once I get some onboard air and some plenty loud air horns. Been on the list for sometime. Even thought about adding more or replacing the stock electric horns with louder ones. My 82 caddy had 4 horns and was loud as all hell. To the point ppl yank them all out of the scrap yards and when you do find them, they want too much money.

Like anything else, you got your for and against ppl on air horns. Some of you should be old enough to remember when everyone was putting air horns on cars, pickups, vans and etc in the 70's and 80's. Also musical ones. It was the fade at the time like CB radios.

I believe horns should be at both front sides and the at the rear! That way there's a good chance you'll be heard and would have to add additional equipment! JM2C. To each there own.

I really like it when I can hear and feel someone’s music from several cars away. That should be against the law as well. Then there’s import cars with the loud pipes that wrap way up when they take off

Sounds like wet farts after a night of pickled eggs and beer.

The 4-note Cad horn is sufficient.
Worth the small trouble. Have used it on several vehicles last thirty years. You get heard.

“Train horns” (real thing) are a hazard. The stupids have so multiplied they’re now the majority.

I drive over 10k/miles-month. Don’t use air horn very often. It’s ignored, in main.

Don’t put yourself in situations you have use a horn works better.

— Should I install blinding headlights since an increasing-size group never turns off bright headlights?

“Loud enough” to be heard past closed windows, AC blowing and radio playing. DELCO 4-note has done it for sixty years.

I have never had an issue with someone hearing my factory provided horn, that was drifting into my lane....that was close enough for it to be dangerous. I feel like scaring the crap out of them might be even more dangerous for them and possibly me.

Same here. It's rare I have to use my horn, but when I do the OEM horn has always been adequate.
