Topics run of the rail all the time. Not long ago there was an interesting thread about available options that were popular on a Superduty, when several other brand (rhymes with ham) owners decided to come in and ruin it for the rest of us that were genuinely interested.

And now someone posting on how amazing it goes to horn and International Build Software. Ironic going off topic posting about how people are going off topic.

:R

Well, it's true.

Good god man. Since it clearly did not get through the first time, the appropriate and polite thing to do is start another thread to discuss a completely unrelated topic (2 in this case!). Reading through several pages of unrelated junk is a bit frustrating! 😉

Since it did not get through to you the first time, I am just saying that it is a bit of a gag that someone posts off topic about others posting off topic. You have to admit that it is a bit ironic. Especially since the actual topic of the is thread died along time ago and so would this thread if nobody went off topic. Good god man. Ha ha ha.

Well maybe it's hard to hold your attention long watching a truck pulling a load at 20 MPH?

Not much to get excited about I guess.

Personally I didn't find the 2017 F450 hauling that load at 40 MPH that exciting either.

Air horns are far more interesting.

It was a little disappointing that they didn't let the Ram shift on it's own as they forced the Ford to do. Perhaps it would have done better?

The truck is a 2001 model year 4800 crew cab 4wd 33,000 GVWR. I have the original build sheet for the truck. I'll look up what it says about horn. It lists everything the truck was built with.

*The truck has 0008WHE Air Horn Accomodation Package

I have factory International software, if I had the last 8 of the VIN then I can verify. You are the first person I have every run into to have an actual bill of materials sheet for their truck unless it was given to you by a dealer. Although the bill of materials sheets I am referring to to do not lists packages and only list every part that was put on that truck by part number.

The build sheet was provided by the International dealer, specific to the VIN number. It shows main assembly part numbers (part number for whole axle assembly, whole engine assembly, whole transmission assembly, etc, but not part numbers for individual parts of main assemblies, for example). The truck was originally upfitted as a brush fire truck for the US Forest Service. I don't want to give out my VIN number on an internet forum...

You can still use air horns. Buy one of those on-board electric compressor kits they sell for the Ride Rite or Air Lift air bag suspension kits, and use that to power your air horns.

Yes I could co that but I was looking for something more simple if possible. Had horns and bags with last truck.

When my dad was still alive, he was a handyman and in his van he always had his air compressor to run his nailers, etc. He kept the tank full and used that air to power his air horns.

It was a finite source of air, since he only ran the compressor on jobs, but he got a few blows out of the small compressor tank between runnings and it was good enough for his minimal use of the horn. One could do the same by filling up an air tank at home and keep in truck to run horn.

I had an Ah-Oooo-Gah air horn on my old baja Bug. The horn had it's own built in electric compressor. It worked fine and sounded good, just wasn't super loud. I think I got it at Pep Boys or one of the other auto parts stores.
