I figured you were going up 4. My mom lived in Angels Camp for many years until a stroke got her in 2007.
What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Train horn would scared him shitless
Woulda just pissed him off more most likely.
I have considered getting one more than a couple times, lol
I have a police horn setup, that i would of course not use except the one tone that it makes (not a siren), it's more of a whaaap sound hard to explain but it's there warning tone, very loud I have a way to wire up so it only can make the one tone but it's shelved for a project another day, the horn weighs about 30lbs super heavy duty.
I have thought about putting a train horn on my bagged Silverado. I’m running around with 7 gallons of air at 200 PSI which would really work good for that. But in reality I’d probably end up getting shot so it’s a no go. They’re so fu*king rude lol. Funny for you, not so much for them.

As long as they are allowed to dry well & then just be some what gentle when you first tighten them up its ok.

I realize every situation and driver is different. But I've had something like this happen to me twice. Both times, as I approached an intersection, I hit my turn signal and slowed like I was going to turn. Both times, they took the bait and turned to stay in front of me, whereupon I went straight on my merry way, never to see them again. I guess it could be seen as escalation. But if it ever came down to it, the move is entirely defensible (I though that was my turn, but I realized it wasn't).
Regardless, it puts them far enough behind that they seem to give up (at least mine did both times). Maybe it gives them enough time to reconsider their stupidity.
Glad you kept your cool and didn't escalate. Dash cams make legal retribution a lot easier. But they record both sides.

I agree. Here I've thought for many years how lame and unnecessary train horns are. Like WTFs the point? But in this situation I see where it could have perhaps helped.
Most of the "mod" threads on this forum are geared towards suspension, wheel/tire, and the occasional power mods.
Meanwhile we should be considering much more CYA mods; Dashcams, lighting, horns, grille guards/bull guards, lock'er down gun safe/holsters in our rigs, etc.
You guys are nuts if you think train horns are a good idea in a road rage incident. The kind of person to drive the way they did is an unhinged one. That dude was NOT going to lose, even if it meant killing someone.

I agree and have seen things like that before. I explained to Heidi that was one of the reasons I wanted my speed limiter removed. In case I had to make an interstate run to get away from an idiot. That said…

I got only one recall notice for that. And it said that I have a vehicle that needed it, but also said that they were not in stock. Have not received another one, that was maybe a year ago or something.
Mine has some heed switch for the passenger airbag anyway. I'm not sure if it would even go off in an accident. The key doesn't seem to do anything so I buried it under the center console for the time being..
Although, now that I think about it, I suppose that could be for the driver side.
I'll get to it one of these days... Rather just do it myself if they would give me the damn thing.

@89Suburban Yeah, they’ve been bugging the crap outta me too. I’ve been too tied up with divorce stuff to worry about it so far.

Some agencies install disable switches for the passenger and or side curtains.I got only one recall notice for that. And it said that I have a vehicle that needed it, but also said that they were not in stock. Have not received another one, that was maybe a year ago or something.

Flashed an updated BlackBear 91+ octane & 6-speed tune. Did some more data-logging, and sent the file to BlackBear to adjust the current tune. I was having kinda-harsh shifts down low on light-throttle. Plus the new intake needed to have the file tweaked.
I also inquired if an upgraded muffler or cat-back system was worth any sort of performance (torque & throttle response) benefit with an upgraded intake and tune. Maybe you guys can chime in with experience? I suspect the stock exhaust diameter is fine, but a flow-through muffler might help a little bit with more than just a better audio experience.
