    Train horns are always an improvement. I would be worried that the way they are mounted, they will receive a lot of road dirt and moisture. As far as the heater hoses, on my old Pete with an A model Cat. The valve on the top of the motor fed the cab heater, and the valve on the side of the motor fed the bunk heater. And shut all the valves off in the summer so the AC will keep it cooler, easier. Mrs EZ Rider is a cutie! Ol' Red is getting closer to being a "large car" each day!

    I had a set of train horns on my Western Star with a hand valve and 1/2” airline. They claimed 130 db on the box. It worked well and you could see the air pressure in the truck drop pretty quickly. When properly used you could see people’s heads pop right out of their backsides. 🤣🤣

    It's nice when the ladies can get involved. Wish mine would turn some wrenches with me. The horn sounds great. Has a kind of 'euro tone' to it. Good job on addressing those cooling issues. That sleeper core was a night and day difference after you cleaned it for sure.

    Nice job painting the tractor! Such a job as you did here, warrants the intentional replacement of some if not all parts in the system. From the heater core to all connections on the motor block. Hoses and clamps are cheap and heater cores can be repaired easy enough if not seriously damaged. Some parts aren't cheap but I believe for the trouble it's worth eliminating frequent failures from aging parts. Also, water builds up scale which eventually corrodes metal parts. Yes, labor intensive! You just bite your lip and get er' done! Awesome job!

    My heater valve on my 85 359 is not working and I was just about to work on it this weekend. perfect timing for this episode. You probably saved me some soldering and two hours of time by watching your trial and error. I bought a similar horn a few years back but have not installed it yet....My wife was watching this with me and I told her maybe she should step up her game and help me install it.....Not happening she said.

    I wish I’d of known you were doing this beforehand. I would of suggested getting rid of the worm clamps and replacing them with heater hose spring clamps (constant tension band). They work great and do not require rechecking and retightening on new hose and no worm slots to cut thur your hoses later.

    Awesome video, I used to change my hoses about every 3 to 4 years once the original hoses wore out. My truck when new came with that blue colored hose that was a better quality & lasted longer but was quite a bit more expensive.I had a leak one time on the hose going to the sleeper on the road & that was enough for me. They got changed BEFORE a problem came. Peterbilt 379's they moved that actuator that the cable hooked up to on the outside of the firewall. changed that several times to.it was made out of plastic & even if I turned the valves off it seemed that s little amount of heat came off the core plus the cable would pull harder to. Keep the video's coming & Happy New Year from South Dakota to you & your wife.

    • @GNX157
      @GNX157 3 роки тому

      That blue hose was probably 100% silicone rubber, the way to go actually. Lasts a long long time. That hose requires special clamps though. Either the constant tension band spring clamps or worm clamps for silicone rubber, which have an inner band that shields the hose from the exposed worm gear slots, which will cut into the silicone like a hot knife thru butter.
