    Installed a Grover Products Air Horn.

    I mounted a set of nathan K5HL trainhorns on the front fender of my 5 ton. I ran 3/4"line from the air tanks to a manual trainhorn valve mounted on the dash and then to the horns. I raised the air pressure to 120 psi. If you pull the valve wide open it will drain the tanks in about 30-40 seconds.
