Air line plumbed...Solenoid secured..
Test tomorrow.
Tempted to turn this into a keychain....
Yep, that's the 4"ish chunk that got sawzalled clean through in 2 places...
No more exposed than any other airhorn mounted on a roof or a fender. This is actually mostly covered, so, theoretically, more protected from the elements.
.... as far as effectiveness, an exposed horn will be orders of magnitude louder than mounting one under the hood. Just moving the stock...
Good idea. Simple and effective.
The horn does stick out a little bit, and isn't flush, so it'd still be exposed but it'd hide the remaining gap to the left of it.
So, not exactly how I wanted it, but to center it in the hole would've meant hours of fabrication...so... this should be OK... Stainless hardware, K-loks, and threadlocker. It shouldn't be going anywhere.
Now I gotta figure out what I want to do with the rest of the hole. Maybe a pseudo...
So, siren = illegal in all 50 states.
Airhorn, can be illegal depending on how loud it is and what state, but it's rarely enforced unless you're being a ... can't say it without getting a warning... but you know what I was gonna say.. :D
As a former emergency vehicle upfitter.. .you have a...
It's a fire truck airhorn - no other sound like it.
Deep bass, felt in your soul... from 1/3 a mile away.
There is no better 'Get the #(%& out of my way' sound than that... :ROFLMAO:
Based on idiots that have cut me off before, I'll need it.
Anyone who's been sitting at a light and...
I cut a wiring harness, in 2 places, then had to splice it back together...

FD removed the blackout light to install a siren speaker. I got a fire truck airhorn that I was gonna put in the same spot, but needed to open the hole a bit. I checked both sides and.... there was room.... to miss the wiring harness that was there....
.....until there wasn't..... because...
It's definitely coming from the engine compartment. I just meant I can hear it in the cab, not that it's originating in the cab. Sorry for not clarifying.
Heard in cab. Have not tried the tube method to narrow down where the sound is coming from though I probably should.
Seems most present at idle, and under load at RPM.
Above idle in Neutral it almost disappears.

Other vehicles I've had with that noise...
Wanted some steps similar to fmtv. Everything I could find was either too costly, or not built well enough.
I tried building steps with all thread.... nope.. wanted to bend inward.
I figured I'd use a crossover chain attachment..... nope... even worse... not tight enough...
So I left the...
I drove my M934 from Bragg to Lewis.. ~3000 miles.... Replaced all fluids, did as good of a check as I could.
Lost a tire in MN I think it was, and had to bypass air dryer in OH because of a stuck blow off valve...Also had numerous air line failures.
Anything you think of that can fail, fix...
There should be wood between the truck frame and the box frame. Yes. Wood.
It acts as a cushion and allows flexing.
Aluminum tears, and doesn't really flex. There's a reason the frame on military boxes is steel, even when other parts, like the skin, are aluminum.
