So, I finally jumped ship from Ford and got a GM. The new baby is a white '04 Yukon SLT, 4.8L, 2WD.

LOVE, Love, love the truck (more spacious than my Ford Five Hundred I parted ways with). I've had her about 2 weeks now and just find new reasons daily to praise the new baby. Except... the horn.

While it works, it's "wimpy" IMO for this... large suv.

I've looked through a few sites and don't really want the "air horn" sound, I like the tones of the electric horns a bit more from the comparisons I've heard.

So, what options are available in replacing the factory horn?

Thanks for the welcome! :hands:

@ Mateo: maybe for a later project, lol. But I have been amused by the youtube videos of train horns.


I had considered an old Cadillac horn, only thing is...where to get one from and who to have install it?

(and I may be wrong here) but it seems my truck has a "high tone" horn, so adding a "low tone" horn might give it a boost of bass...or tonal range...?

@2005yukon Haha, yes I know. Grandpa was the mechanic/ engineer in the family. Though a weekend afternoon DIY might not be so bad, I haven't poked around under a vehicle's hood since he passed I wouldn't want to mess anything up. (That and he liked to work on 60s and 70s Mercedes so it's a COMPLETELY different set-up than today) but I'll look into instructions and see
