Welcome to my channel ! I'm a retired fire department captain and jack of all trades, master of none ! I post alot of crazy videos (sorry if I offend you !) and recently started posting videos to help you fix stuff, all kinds of stuff, from your car to your plumbing I'll post whatever I can to help you do it yourself. Also have a cool video of my antique Gamewell Diaphone horn, Type B. This is a work in progress so bear with me as I get my first videos up and running. Stop by again to see whats new and leave me a note if there is something maybe I can post for you. Thanks ! Chuck J.

Whats the decible rating from 100 feet away?
Man im not from the bronx but this is like my hood my moms still lives around parkchester and parkchester gotta be one of the best neighborhoods in the bronx and some are close to castle hill
Hey Chuck...are you still checking replies here..if so could you let me know...I have some tech questions about the pistons you used..I will check back here in a few
Thank you for this video. I needed to know what size the two bolts and two nuts were. I was thinking I'd have to buy several sizes to be sure. But now I know that I just need to get 12 mm.
Privately owned backyard Gamewell Diaphone because screw the neighbors 😂
They got a kick out of it, they had watched me clean it up when I brought it home.
Not sure if anyone will watch this or read the comments after 8 years but I just changed my supports an hour ago. I watched this video and could not understand the need for torching and still don’t. Maybe something is different about my 2007? Anyway I bought the supports from an online Toyota parts dealer-er 😜 and the pair, OEM, was just over $100. The bolt/ball came off with a 6” long 12 mm wrench. On one I used a pipe on the wrench for extra torque but did not need this for the other one. It’s bit tedious because you can only turn the wrench at most a 1/4 of a turn. Wish there was an explanation somewhere on how to pop the socket off. The new parts have the ball/bolt separated from the support. Once you have the ball/bolt and the support installed the socket just pops over the ball with thumb pressure - piece of cake. I thought I would have hammer it on. One of the easiest installs I’ve ever had to do.
I had to heat mine to get it off, it just would not break loose. Glad yours went easier. Now if I only still had the truck. The frame rusted thru in multiple places 5 yrs ago at 135k miles and Toyota wouldn't cover the 4Runner frames even though MANY had catastrophic rust problems. Best truck I ever owned til that happened. I took meticulous care of it too.
damn your a horrible neighbor
I think I personally like the more "BLAAAT" tones, the more corse and uneven tone
Thank you brother. You really helped me out. I sure didn’t know where to start. Thanks again.
Just had this issue on my wife’s Hyundai. I had already changed the spark plugs about 2 years ago so I am guessing it’s the coil pack now.
My grandmother's buried St Raymond's Cemetery
So is my mom.
So is my mom.
I like the second blast of the second piston.
Glad you gave those stupid dogs a good scare!
The second sound reminds me of a WABCO E-2 train horn.
To me it sounds like the big ships coming up the river near me !
Wish it was that easy for mine. I've rounded off that nut on the lower ball right above the taillight on my son's 2003 model. They must have welded it on. After rounding it off with the correct sized wrench, i tried with needle nose vice grips with no luck. It's ridiculous. The same job took 5 minutes for my wife's 2011 Highlander.
Sorry to hear that, usually enough heat breaks it loose. Not much else you can do with it, cutting it and drilling it would be a bitch but might be the only option left.
Thanks..well done
Helped me a lot! Thanks!
It would be cool if you did it on a ship or something, even though its a fire horn.
I used to love sirens the most well… I think I have changed my mind!😀
When I started in the fire department back in 1974 on Long Island (NY) all the departments had horns, sirens or both. My department had 3 horns like this spread across the city. And back then they went off a lot! Good times, very few audibles left today unfortunately.
Wow I live in Parkchester and I go to both St Raymond's and St Helena
Thank you for providing this information it really saved my life and I appreciate the time you took to do it!!
Good Deal!
Woaaaaaaaa! Nice!, it sounds very similar to the WABCO Type "E" horns used on trains from many years ago.

@@TheBoysTopSecretisOrganization WHOOOOOOOAAAAAA❗ wish i had something like that, i could rig it up with a motion sensor for Halloween and spook the kajeeeebies outta da trickortreaters 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😃😀😃😀😃😲😱❗
Lol the dog was like "ROOOO-ROOOO-OH SHIT!"
Baaaaahh
Be sure to set the thing off when ur house gets on fire.
That was pretty neat! Amazing what one or two small changes can do to affect air flow.
Wow nice more video brother 👍
Thanks man.
I’m surprised it was 38 pounds I thought it would be heavier
All the weight is in the piston end. The copper projector is only a few pounds.
@@captfxco oh wow cool
Man would you be a fun neighbor to have! I yell at mine with a megaphone across the canal and they yell back with theirs!
HAHAHAHA That was great to watch and hear, thanks for sharing it.
What size socket would I need to pull the spark plugs out for this car?
As I recall it was 16mm or a 5//8 should work. Make sure it's a plug socket with the rubber insert. Please confirm the size if you're going out to buy one. good luck
@@captfxco thanks so much for the follow up. I looked it up in a few places and I believe you're right. I'm planning on doing my spark plugs for the first time ever, so it's going to be fun.
"Not again please!" -Neighbor
The 1st one sounds so much cooler
What a strange hobby...I love it.
The sound brings me back to when I started as a volunteer back in 1974 before cell phones or even pagers were common. Good times.
There’s a lot of “Siren Enthusiast” out there.
Very Good Loud Diaphone
Humane Fire Company of Royersford PA decommissioned theirs a couple years back. It had a much deeper tone than a lot I’m finding in videos. They also change tone over the years through wear and tear. Great sounding horn though.
I have 2 other pistons and they all sound different. The "looser" ones seem to have deeper tone and less "bark". And it's only a difference of a few thousandths of an inch in size.
I couldn't follow the directions and got my dick stuck in the radiator fan 😔
Don't start the engine until you get it out, it'll rip your nuts off if you do.
This is a really great video on how to replace these support struts! It was hard to find a video with the same kind of hardware being used which is like the one I bought from a different brand. Luckily I didn't have to break out a torch to get anything removed, HOWEVER, to anyone who purchased the Maxpow type struts be advised that you have to remove a C clip from the ball end BEFORE installing the ball end and then you have to REPLACE the C clip after installation to keep the struts in place. I didn't see that part of this in this video and I'm assuming its because the type of struts he purchased maybe didn't need to have a pin removed and replaced to keep the ball end in place but mine did. It took me about 10 minutes to figure out how the struts stay in place and finally realized that you have to do what I said above. Once again, great video and thanks for your help! I am fixing up my 2005 4Runner with 230,000 miles which is running great but I am replacing things on it that need to be replaced like these struts.
WOW
EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you. 😩
question: can this be used on large-fleet cruise/seacargo ship?
I hear that all the time

Hey nice diaphragm horns

😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆
Sir I think there's something wrong with your tuba
HWY, um, guess what? at least on the second test you are never fully opening the valve. How can you not realize that your fingers are preventing the valve from traveling the full amount??
It might appear that way but the valve did open all the way. I had tried it a few times before I filmed it and got the same tone. I picked up a 3rd piston since and that one sounds different too.
