Looking for a Reccomendation

All,

I appreciate everyone on this forum and everything they contribute, but without all of the conversation on the pro's and con's of Air Horns or telling me to go buy a train or to mount the horn inside the cab pointed at my face, etc, I'm looking for a recommendation on a big air horn / train horn / air system from someone whose actually installed one of these on their 2017 SD and didn't have to drill or relocate anything.

I talked to the folks at Kleinn and their "Direct Bolt-On" Kits are not ready for Prime Time and I'm not interested in being part of the test group.

I have a 2017 SD Crew Cab 4x4 SB Platinum Diesel and I look forward to learning from all of the knowledge and wisdom of this auspicious group of enthusiasts!!

Rob,

I'm sorry I'm not able to help out with your question, but I wanted to let you know you gave me a big laugh with this comment.

PS: We have the same truck!! (Maybe a different color) Isn't it great?!

I absolutely LOVE my Truck and so glad I went big with the Platinum.

And now - Back to our regularly scheduled programing.

These genuine train horns are not mounted yet but I have seriously been thinking about it.

Those are NICE!!

Kleinn has an awesome setup but they don't have a mount kit yet for the 2017. Someone has had to have had a system installed that didn't require to much fabrication work.

You can get a kit from HORN BLASTERS.

Those are awesome!! My quick train horn experience - crossing the street in downtown Chicago with my lovely wife one summers day and noticed a lifted Superduty stopped at the light. Now mind you - Chicago is very strict about pedestrians in the crosswalks - as long as they have the walk light, they have the absolute right of way. We made it across and the light changed, but (being Chicago) there were a mass of people still in the crosswalk. Apparently the guy in the Superduty got impatient, because the next thing you know he is sounding his horn...and BTW not just any horn. He lit that thing off and, I swear to the Almighty, traffic both vehicle and pedestrian came to a standstill. People started running out of the crosswalk and I heard one guy yell, "Where the hell is that train coming from?". Both my wife and I even jumped out of our skins. Needless to say, the way was clear for him. As he passed I gave him a thumbs-up and then went to clean my shorts.
