Is there a way to make it less sensitive. You know, where you actually need to push it to make it honk. All the horn parts are new.

Can you please edit and add what year your truck is? One of us probably has a blown up view of parts and might be able to walk you through what they did.
I assume it’s the 56 in your profile, but just wanted to make sure.
Chris

'57 GMC 102, Original 347 V8, HydraMatic, 3.08 rear gear, added A/C, disk front brakes, HEI, AFB carb, '98 Honda Black Currant paint. T-boned and totaled 10/12
'52 GMC 152 Stake Bed, Original 228, SM420, added A/C, HEI, disk front brakes, '67 Chev 3.55 rear gear. Gets used as a real truck.

That goes into a slot at 5 o'clock on the TF steering wheel. The AD steering wheel has a small hole at 7 o'clock, but the repro switch that I got doesn't have the tine. Without that keeper the switch wants to rotate as you torque the steering wheel nut. In my case the switch rotated until one of the switch rivets got close to the horn button contact. It was super sensitive until I figured that out. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2024 Posts: 230 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2024 Posts: 230 | Thanks Walter I'm going to take a look at that. But it'll have to wait until I get it back this afternoon. Having a little tune up work done on it.
