Hopefully it’ll be ready very shortly. I know we were planning on having it up by now, but it shouldn’t be too much longer. Thanks for checking in on it!

I’m 100% positive it saved me from getting backed into in a parking lot. I was pulled in forward so the horn was a far away for the other driver as could be. I really doubt they could’ve heard the old horn.
Good thing hitting the gym a little more never hurt anyone
That's awesome to hear you like it! So happy that everyone is loving their new found sound.That's what I'm talking about! I had almost the same thing happen to me the other day, and one quick blast from the horn and the other driver stopped cold in their tracks. Glad to see they are coming in handy for other people as well.
On a separate note, here’s the latest batch of horns going out. If you haven’t received yours yet, you should be getting it shortly. Thank you again everyone for the orders and positive feedback, much appreciated!

The horn is touching the cable or the bracket? or both? This doesn't sound ideal. I'm looking at pictures mike813 posted and I see plenty of clearance in his case. So there must be a good deal of manufacturing variance with cable placement. Maybe the bracket mounting tabs (and holes) should allow some adjustment? @RealWheelsEV, care to comment?

Christopher I did send you a DM regarding this, please let me know what you find out.
As far as the factory cable routing goes, yes, we have seen it once where the bracket placement that holds the wires up from the factory is in a lower position. The bracket can be mounted in different positions and it can change exactly how the wires are run. Rotating the bracket slightly upwards lifts the cables to allow for additional clearance.
Had the opportunity to meet another forum member this week and do a horn install with him. Such a tough sounding truck now! Thanks again Chuck!

@RealWheelsEV. Installed my horn on Sunday and it sounded great. Last night however the horn began sounding like a sick duck. Any ideas it would fade and weaken? Fuse? Incorrect terminal attachment? Today, parked in the garage and not driven, the horn sounds great again. I followed the video install and connected to the same front driver post in the batter post box. Before I pull it apart again, I wanted to ask.

Was it very cold? That can happen with air horns. Same reason I've not ordered, but keenly interested in the bracket. Or, if @RealWheelsEV offers a non-airhorn version that also doesn't require relay and powering from the 12V battery...

Mine worked fine with weather in the teens. I wonder if he has another issue?

Hey Doc...Thanks for the info. I don't believe this has to do with the compressor or is weather/temperature related. First thing would be to check your connections and fuse. You can pull just the upper trim panel closest to the windshield to gain access. If everything checks out with that then there are 10 Phillips head screws on the face of the horn itself. These are adjustable and will change the tone of the horn. Tighter should give a solid continuous tone, while a little looser will give more of a rolling sound. Do not loosen them too much, a quarter turn at most will make a big difference. Feel free to give us a call and I can have one of my techs walk you through it, or shoot me a DM with your number and I will have someone call you. If that doesn't work, I will send you out a replacement. Thanks!

Anyone in the greater Seattle area who has installed this can help me install this horn on my car?

@RealWheelsEV what's the chances of getting some assistance with install if I live up the street from you all in Gurnee? 
Just sent you a DM. I have kits available, but need to finalize instructions for the passenger side wire harness routing. Everything coming through the shop for the last month has been drivers side or dual horns.
If anyone in the Chicagoland area has a single passenger side horn and would allow us to install and take a few photos, please let me know. Thanks!
