2006 Dodge Ram Train Horn Installation - HornBlasters Kit - Diesel Truck Horn Installation

As a Diesel Power reader, it's likely you have a big truck with big tires, a big suspension lift, and a big, bombed-out diesel engine. But when it comes time to honk at someone, you're stuck with that wimpy factory-installed horn. Not only is this unacceptable for your big truck, but it can also be a safety and theft concern that's easily preventable.

Why Train Horns?
In some parts of the country, the idea of adding train horns to trucks has been around for several years. In fact, there's a whole industry that has popped up offering these kits. To some, installing powerful horns on a daily driver may seem excessive, but if you're pulling a 15,000-pound trailer and you see a car about to pull in front of you, a simple warning blast can mean the difference between the driver noticing or hitting your rig.

Another important benefit is theft prevention. Most new trucks come equipped with factory alarms that sound the horn, so a train horn setup can become a powerful deterrent. Let's face it, when we're in a shopping mall and hear a typical car alarm, people barely notice. Thieves count on this to make their lives easy as they get away with the stolen vehicle. After hearing one blast from a train horn, we can almost guarantee it will send any would-be thief looking for another target.
