you might want to buy a bigger tank or hook up multiple tanks. I know my friends dad has an air horn on his truck, not sure the exact tank size, but its "stock" from the kit, and only gets a few blasts before it has to refill

Check out grover air horns. They sell Fire truck and semi truck horns. Great quality and very loud. Not True Train horn LOUD but loud.

when it comes to the search engine

1. Try going go to "advanced" search
2. Select "Super Duty/Heavy duty"
3. Be specific when selecting topic (i.e..instead of "shock" try "Bilstein shocks"
4. Wrap topic in "quotes"
5. Experiment with it.

I will admit it's not the best but remember your searching for a couple of words amoungst millions. Be patient it does work. Any Guru's with any other "hints"

PS- Should make this a post in itself.

I believe Seige went under. Another good place to check for air horns (I believe he sells only Klienn) is Boyer Custom Truck.

+1

I ride a train everyday to and from work so I guess my expectations would be a little high. Some of the horns I have heard are a little weak. Might have been the tank capacity.

I have a K5LA mounted on my truck and most people can't believe how loud it is. I have a 20 gallon air tank running 200 psi and two Viair 480c compressors filling the tank.
