2007 Ford Truck – Horn Project Progress 2012 10 05

This page may take a while to fully load as there are a lot of pictures and the instructions are all on one page.

	This is what this project looked like 3 years ago. I did not finish the install with compressor valves, wiring, but the boxes and horns were mounted under the truck. They looked nice and pretty back then.
	After three years of being under the truck and the project not complete I removed them from the truck to clean them back up and complete the project. They certainly do not look as pretty now

As with any project I do the first thing that happens is I take everything apart


	I like shiny things so this is the start of returning the luster to the horns
I removed the horns and their protective boxes and found that one blows fine, but the other is reluctant to blow, air passes through it, but takes a second or two to sound. I was told “Volume is the most important one, You will need a lot of volume for most horns to work properly. That is usually the mistake most people make is trying to use a small air house with a quick connect on the end and the volume is to low for the horn to work right. Give us some info on what you are using for air supply and I am sure we can get you hooked up.” I was using an air gun with a rubber tip to supply air to the horn which restricted the flow.I tried a high flow quick release this afternoon (the same quick release I use for the sand blaster).Also note the photo of the air passage inside the horn. the inlet may be 3/4 pipe, but the air passage after that is quite small.
