You should put a shut off valve before the solenoid. If the solenoid should stuck open, you can easily just close the air flow

A white apoxy floor would look really good in you're truck. Awesome video.

[@fldlife]

You right about that maybe when this floor gets damaged I’ll do it

On mine I installed a pressure switch on my dash. They were Kleinn train horns called the beast. I run through mountains so the plastic was perfect for me, because of the salt etc. Anyhow, want them loud? Do what I did. I didn't bother with the air kit that came with them. I plumbed mine up to 3/4 inch air. Measured at 172 DBs. Hah!!!

Great work 👍👍👍

[@abrahamgarib7204]

Good vid bro

[@SlickD217]

Why not bypass the solenoid all together and just use your cab control valve?

[@fldlife]

It wouldn’t sound as loud

[@05trucker55]

Nice bro good job hey what year is your truck do you use a ELD ?

[@fldlife]

05 Trucker I don’t use one my truck is 2000 with 1999 engine on it

[@kevinangel4083]

Does the stuck solenoid of the horn do the same function as in the tank?

[@fldlife]

You mean the city horn? You are not supposed to mess with it because truck by dot law must have a city horn (not too loud ) then the other horn but theoretically can work

[@kevinangel4083]

birdeizzle good good idea!! I am going to do it 👍

And/Or install two solenoids in series for redundancy. I recommend putting a line strainer(the water/plumbing type) in front of the solenoid, and buying spare rebuild kits. Also, (because I have a tendency to make things redundant and sometimes over built.) You could install a normally-open solenoid after the first solenoid, connected to a "kill switch" that when power was applied; would close off your horn air line. Should your horn stick on or the button fails again (btw, is it rated for the current pulled by the solenoid or higher?) You can shut the line closed until you can get off the road, without losing all your air. 😁 But that mentality is all just me and my projects. Great job! Thanks for the video!
