I have a cat that can fart louder than those horns.

I'm considering ordering my third set of these AIR HORNS Model 418 Powerhouse to replace that whimpy Horn on my 2008 CM Limited.
I say third set, because I installed a set on a friends Hummer H1 a few years back, a set in my parents motor home and perhaps in the Crewmax. Although I'm toying with ordering the 519 Bad Boy Chrome. It's a straight replacement for the existing horn so after I look under the hood a little bit I'll decide then what might be simplest solution.
I will say that the 418 Powerhouse Chromes are sweet and they will definitely get EVERYONE's attention and are in inexpensive solution. For ~$100 they are definitely worth it.

Watch out for anything you buy at Harbor Freight. The stuff is CHEAP ! about half of it will last a few months then fall apart. Some tools do last a reasonable time, you just never know which one will. My experience only, your mileage may vary.

You ain't lyin... I bought 2 pair of strut compressors from Harbor Freight to install my spacers and had to use 3 on the stock springs... the bolts in the compressors looked like 14" lag bolts that got a little bend in them when the strut got compressed down a bit.

Neither are you (lying that is). I had an bench grinder from HF didn't last 30 minutes before the stator crapped out.
