Do a search in the super duty forum and you will probably yield a lot more results. Most mount them either on the frame rails or where the spare tire was once it has been removed.

How much is a complete kit and how hard are they to install? I live in Upstate NY and I want something that can stand the hard winters and salt. Any recommendations???

It looks like you can get a really nice set for $500. Can you get in trouble for blasting the horn legally? I am sure you can scare the daylights out of someone....

I have train horn, it's the Kong MKII. I love it. I mounted the horns and solenoid on the pass side under the bed on the frame, and I have the tank and compressor in my toolbox. I bought it from Ebay brand new for like $400. Make sure you get the compressor separate from tank system. The Viair compressors are the best IMO for horns.

I can tow more than some big rigs that have them so I don't see how they could punish you having them. Now if you are driving through a shopping center blasting them like the kids on youtube that is a different story.

They were heading back to my warehouse to be used as shipping pallets. They were left over from the landscaping company I work with.
