Hey thanks guys for all the info. Honestly I've already thought about the law aspect for once. I love right outside D.C and I doubt that D.C Metro police would be very kind to a redneck in an already loud straight piped diesel blowing a train horn. I'd still want to keep my stock horn so that I dont always have to let loose on the train horn. I seriously want to get one though so it looks like I'm going to have to do some shopping around. I really dont want to have to mount it to the top of my truck, so we'll see.
Thanks again

As far as the jerks behind you, I thought of installing a 12v pump that can move OIL, and hook it up to a container holding a qt of used motor oil, and then run it to a teeny 1/8" brass tube tie-tied under the bumper and sticking out just a hair. When someone is riding your @$$, hit a switch and coat thier hood and windshield with some nice black 15w-40. Probably not the smartest thing to do when the jerk on your bumper is going 75, but hey, you gotta protect you own right? HAHAHA

A cheap alternative to train horns is the Stebel Nautilus horn. At 139db YOU WILL BE HEARD! Stebel Nautilus horn in eBay! I bought it directly from this store for less than what they offer it for on eBay. I just can't find the darn real URL for the site.
I have just one on my Yamaha Royal Star Venture. Compact, powerful and LOUD describe it best. It'll peel pain off the car in front of you!! I'll be adding one to my car and TWO to my Excursion. They are so compact that you can feasibly add one to the back and two to the front! Or as many as you want; wherever you want!
For $35, it comes with everything you need to include the relay. However, you will need to fashion your own bracket.
I'll be more than happy to make a sound/video clip of mine so that you can hear it. These things are LOOOOOUUUUUUDDDD! That sound clip on the above link doesn't really do it justice. But does give you an idea of the tone.
