Train Horn

[puddle hunter]

I also have my compressor on an upfitter. I did it just in case a leak ever develops without me knowing. I don't want the compressor turning on while the truck is parked, possibly draining the battery.

My compressor/tank combo, is mounted between the front frame horns. The gauge is visible by glancing through the gaps in the grill. I take a look at it every time I jump in the truck in the morning...gotta walk past the grill anyway.

Wire it up so it only gets power with ignition. Won't run the compressor(s) unless the key is on

It all comes down to personal preference. I didn't want the compressor needlessly running whether it was wired to a switch, the ignition, or the battery. At least with the switch, it only gets power when I say it can get power.

If with or without a switch, ignition for the relay coil is the only way for sure. Asking for trouble if not.

Anyway you could throw a governor onto it like we have on a semi air system?

I have it on a switch that runs off switched power and I like to have the gauge just because I like to know whats going on with it. U can tell if u have a slow leak or not

Attached my gauge to the tank underneath the truck. My compressor is wired into my upfitter switch (#2). Once I leave the house I flip the switch to top off the tank if it is needed. That way it is always full, you never know when you are going to see some punk kid walking along the road or some little old lady checking the mailbox. Got to be ready....

Do y'all disconnect the factory horn too or just have the factory and air horn blare at the same time?

Left my stock horn, both operate together or just stock horn.

We have our train horn operate on an aux switch. So we always have both individually.
