Just as an update to this thread.....
There's a larger body version available from another manufacturer for big trucks (ours) that greatly increases drain speed.

The only restriction with LiFePo is you can't charge them below freezing. They normally generate some heat in use so they tend to self-regulate. Worse case is they make battery heaters specifically for that purpose.
Air line plumbed...Solenoid secured..
Test tomorrow.
Tempted to turn this into a keychain....
Yep, that's the 4"ish chunk that got sawzalled clean through in 2 places...
No more exposed than any other airhorn mounted on a roof or a fender. This is actually mostly covered, so, theoretically, more protected from the elements.
.... as far as effectiveness, an exposed horn will be orders of magnitude louder than mounting one under the hood. Just moving the stock...
Good idea. Simple and effective.
The horn does stick out a little bit, and isn't flush, so it'd still be exposed but it'd hide the remaining gap to the left of it.
So, not exactly how I wanted it, but to center it in the hole would've meant hours of fabrication...so... this should be OK... Stainless hardware, K-loks, and threadlocker. It shouldn't be going anywhere.

Based on idiots that have cut me off before, I'll need it.
Anyone who's been sitting at a light and...

FD removed the blackout light to install a siren speaker. I got a fire truck airhorn that I was gonna put in the same spot, but needed to open the hole a bit. I checked both sides and.... there was room.... to miss the wiring harness that was there....
.....until there wasn't..... because...
It's definitely coming from the engine compartment. I just meant I can hear it in the cab, not that it's originating in the cab. Sorry for not clarifying.
Heard in cab. Have not tried the tube method to narrow down where the sound is coming from though I probably should.
Seems most present at idle, and under load at RPM.
Above idle in Neutral it almost disappears.
