Nice, love the grill guard, wish i could have one but im not willing to block the adaptive radar box or the 360 camera system
they should come up with a airbag system the inflates in-front of the grill before animal impacts using thermal or something lol

anyways keep the mods coming,

Thats not a train horn, that is an air horn. Most real train horns won't fit under your truck. I know I bought one for my last F450 and even if I removed the spare tire I don't think it will fit. Yes, they are THAT big!

Train Horns

Take a look at the http://www.hornblasters.com site. Specifically the Shocker horns.


I had them on my old F350 and am getting ready to put them on my new F450. They are as loud and as close to a real locomotive train horn that you will find --- and the cost is reasonable.


Enjoy.

Well aware of horn blasters, but the point is they are NOT real train horns.

Not anywhere near the real thing out in the wild, sure at 3 feet similar SPL, NOT at any distance. If I went out the garage I could find a Leslie SuperTyfon RS-5T.

It's puts out the same sound as a train will, very high pitch, not deep like a boat or rig, and beleave it or not that small thing is louder then a large big rig trumpet as it runs at 150PSI!
yes I realize it's not the same as the ones used on trains as those are made to be herd across town and too large and very unreasonable but in the "truck mod" or aftermarket world it's still considered a train air horn, anyways lets get back on topic let's see more mods and aftermarket parts

I have the 360 camera and adaptive cruise control and everything still works great!

Ranch Hand front and rear replacements, ARE topper, Bushwacker Fender Flares. As previously mentioned Adaptive Cruise and Camera still work fine with Ranch Hands.

6" ready lift, bds coils, fox shox all around/stabilizers, fender flares, 22" fuel wheels, 37" toyo mt, platinum bed letters, amp side bed step, front window tint to match the rear, moonroof ceramic UV tint and ordered the tufskinz platinum tailgate inserts and bed extender, but they haven't come in yet. I'm debating putting a bed cover on it, but I'm not sure which one to get. All from Sterling McCall Ford in Houston - my buddy does the lifts for their dealer and I wanted everything covered under warranty and the extended warranty.

The warranty is only 3 years / 33k miles on the lift right?
