I had a 84 Chevy and my step dad gave me a horn out of a 49 dodge “big ass trumpet looking horn” and I mounted it the exact same way! Hillbilly blood runs deeper than folks think 😂
My wife and I love watching your content from up north. This one in particular is cool…my grandpa was a firefighter there and have a whole lot of family still around. Keep up the content and we will keep tuning in.
I serving over 18 years as a firefighter EMT. We found that some of our members that put lights and sirens on their personal vehicles had a problem. We found that when they turned their lights and sirens on, their brains shut off. Remember your light and sirens don’t allow you to speed or run traffic lights or signs. If you crash going to a fire or accident you just created another incident. Your crash could cost someone to loose their life or property. And think about it. If you saw a ratty old flatbed truck coming at you with lights flashing and a siren blasting you probably would stop because you’d be laughing to hard to drive. Be safe, forget the toys and drive safely to the fire station. Those big red trucks are the one that need to get to the scene.
Yup, same stuff is laying around my firehouse! Please make sure you put a bead of silicone around the base of the light, so it won't leak into your cab.
Andy you pretend to not know how to do things properly but that’s all for show. You are pretty smart when it comes to f🐓ing around with things. No shocks, no fires. I would say that was a pretty good day.
When I was a little kid my local fire station had an antique fire truck with a hand crank siren that they would bring out for parades. It was a real thrill to run into the garage and crank the siren before they would come running out and chase us away.
With this video you just made my top 5, maybe even top three youtubers. (probably matters to no one but me). Every time you cranked those sirens I got the same stupid grin as you. Proud to have you in Michigan brother!
my early teen self would have tried to put the siren and light on the same switch no matter how many fuses i blew out. my record is 16 fuses when trying to install a sparkomatic radio in a 1981 carola. finally found the faulty wire connection. lol
Those are probably the power feed for the dome light. GM switches the dome lights on the ground side, so the power side will be hot all the time. And it is a fused circuit.
Andy love that laugh of pure Joy! As always I love you and you still need a Skid Steer! Just get Carlos a couple fainting Goat, just imagine running that siren next to a couple. I giggle like a school girl just thinking about it.
Only thing I would do differently was to put a dab of silicone on the light mounting screws before installing them. Don't want moisture and salt to rot the roof of Juanita.
Quick question for my curiosity. Do you get more from views on yt or fb? I found you on fb and now watch you on here. Just want to figure out the best way to support you while being too broke to justify buying merch. 😂
Got two choices for the siren. Small and large. There isn't even a question here. Of course we go with the big one. Nobody wants a tiny little siren...
Why a pushbutton switch? How long do you need to hold it while driving? Did you just not have a toggle switch handy? Still liked the video, just curious.
The push button is used to wind the motor/siren up and the depressed to allow motor/siren to wind down. This allows the hi/low sound. A switch could be used, but a push button is commonly used on this type of siren in the fire service even on apparatus manufactured today
Thats absolutely awesome I wonder when andy will paint his new plow truck fire engine red. And convert it into a mini fire truck from the left the left over parts it the fire house
It ain’t a fire truck unless it’s got a Q on it. Should have put both of them in there 😂. At least the one you put in slows down faster then your typical Q, so don’t need to install a break.
Fire Chief "Note to self Don't leave Andy alone in the fire house"
🤣🤣🤣
is amazing how inanimate objects can make grown men giggle like little school girls
haha I love the metal shavings on the face after saying it didn't shock you after installing it.
Its already broke.
Can't get more broke...
Yup. Words to live by right there
Absolutely love the grin!
As a former volunteer firefighter, every time you hit that siren it made me grin. You made my day sir. Carryon
Good to know I was not the only other person grinning like a idiot.
Made me smile too, I was active volunteer from 1981 until 2017
I had a 84 Chevy and my step dad gave me a horn out of a 49 dodge “big ass trumpet looking horn” and I mounted it the exact same way! Hillbilly blood runs deeper than folks think 😂
That was the biggest "Big kid" grin ever!!!!! (Ya up to no good - yup - carry on) Im not supervised LOL
Oh looks like Christmas came early for the 8 year old Andy! That smile and laugh are infectious. Good for you, Andy. 😂
My wife and I love watching your content from up north. This one in particular is cool…my grandpa was a firefighter there and have a whole lot of family still around. Keep up the content and we will keep tuning in.
As an old Vollie, I got as much of a kick out of this video as you did installing them. Great work brother.
Hope you enjoyed your time as a Volunteer Fire Fighter Andy cuz you're the fire apparatus maintenance guy now.
The indian blanket seat covers really ties it all together. Well done Andy
Just that giggle of happiness lol. I won't lie I giggled to lol

you realize that when you tested and mounted, then tested the Fed. you weren't the only one grinning.
"Can't get more broke"
Famous last words spoken by me before I break something more.
You said you did a thing…. You confirmed that claim!!😂👍🏻
Andy you pretend to not know how to do things properly but that’s all for show. You are pretty smart when it comes to f🐓ing around with things. No shocks, no fires. I would say that was a pretty good day.
I would grin that big too... that's an amazing siren.
inmates running the asylum again lmfao great video again bro cant wait for the next
Awesome! That’ll give you an open lane whenever you need one!😂
Very nice setup, but the thing that impressed me the most was Andy has a vehicle with mostly factory wiring and it all works!
Don’t sound that siren when you’re passing through Texas. You will have every cow within earshot chasing you thinking they are about to get fed

I think you should hook both of them, twice the fun, twice the noise
my early teen self would have tried to put the siren and light on the same switch no matter how many fuses i blew out. my record is 16 fuses when trying to install a sparkomatic radio in a 1981 carola. finally found the faulty wire connection. lol
Dude you are a legend!! If you're ever down on Long Island I'd love to show you around my firehouse....
Lol. Nothing like the sound of old school mechanical sirens. I loved the old Federal Q sirens.
All that sounds exactly like my beginning police days.
It'll be even easier to see and hear you coming.
With my inner child in mind, I felt ALMOST as giddy as you looked. It’s the little things. 😉
A boy with his new little toys!😂
Do we get to call you Barney when you play the siren and lights? Wobble on. 😅
I always wondered how it felt to have your own personal OSHA rep lmao
Most likely if those wires were already in the roof they already run to a fuse somewhere
Those are probably the power feed for the dome light. GM switches the dome lights on the ground side, so the power side will be hot all the time. And it is a fused circuit.
"Its already broke it cant get more broke"
Oh buddy you've never seen me try and fix somethibg
Love the truck. My first truck was a 81 long wheel base. Sure do miss it
Andy love that laugh of pure Joy! As always I love you and you still need a Skid Steer! Just get Carlos a couple fainting Goat, just imagine running that siren next to a couple. I giggle like a school girl just thinking about it.
You are so silly...lol
As always...We love ya.
Merry Christmas to you and the family ❤
Only thing I would do differently was to put a dab of silicone on the light mounting screws before installing them. Don't want moisture and salt to rot the roof of Juanita.
Put them both on and get a dual tone siren. Because more sirens is always more gooder. 😂
dude the siren with a V on the front is WWII military, worth some money to the jeep guys.
That was the most genuine smile I have ever seen!
:)
Could we get a farm update video. Haven't seen the goats for a while haha
Quick question for my curiosity. Do you get more from views on yt or fb? I found you on fb and now watch you on here. Just want to figure out the best way to support you while being too broke to justify buying merch. 😂
Made me grin, too. 👍😁
I know a couple of kids at Andys who are going to love this mod...
Final last words “it’s already broke can’t get more broke” until it gets really broken lol
Too funny! Andy and Barney would be proud to know you recycled their siren and light from their patrol car.
I drive a brand new fire truck at work and the Federal Q siren is my favorite part of it!
Loved the siren! What a cool-sounding one. Don't worry about being heard that truck probably will not do over 55mph safely regardless, lol.
Fun stuff....😊
Technically if you tapped into the dome light, it's on a fused circuit. Take that nerds.
Got two choices for the siren. Small and large. There isn't even a question here. Of course we go with the big one. Nobody wants a tiny little siren...
Love your videos. Don't cre if it's truck stuff or curing a ham
Lol love the videos keep on making great videos n we will watch y’all have a great Christmas
The right one to put on is both
Flat out just COOL!!!
You’re my hero 😂
Loving it. , Just Awesome.
WOBBLE ON JIM! lol😂
AMAZING. And how fun !
Watch Out People ,Andy’s loose in the neighborhood 😂

@@jamiepeyton2676 Thank you, that makes sense.
I had a questionabley legal siren on my first car 😂
It made all sorts of noises, and had a pa/mic setup 🤣😫😩
Gowd that thing was fun
Great video
Great video!
❤ I'm kinda jealous and just ordered my own federal signal Q but just for my truck to scare and annoy😂
Thats absolutely awesome
I wonder when andy will paint his new plow truck fire engine red. And convert it into a mini fire truck from the left the left over parts it the fire house
I would have wired the light into the same switch as the siren, so they all come on together.
Next video should be about all your trucks. That way you can make people mad lol
Now you need wig wags in the headlights.
I appreciate your content more than you know buddy!
That is a big kid with a siren
Today's the day after Veteran's Day. From one vet to another, Thanks for your service. I hope you're doing ok, brother.
Hey Andy: The siren is just like the ones we had on the old 40 footers in the CG back in the day! Very Cool!
want a light like that in amber for my old farm truck itd be awesome
😮 Andy I wouldn't put no hole in the roof you asking for leaks
You need an air horn now.
Very cool! I'll be keeping an eye out for you!
Love it!
Like a kid in a candy store 😂
Where did you find a 'sick' ham?
Leds are actually less visible, you will be seen better in bad weather conditions with those lights
She is ready for a parade
This is the perfect example of 'guys being dudes'
I LOVE IT🤣🤣🤣
Nice.
Fuses??? Oh you mean those little tube thingies I replaced with paper clips?
Side note: where I come from only the chief can run red lights. Everyone else must run blue. Is this different other place? just curious.
I wish here in alabama it was legal for volunteers to run lights/sirens.... mostly cause "IF IM UP UR UP" at 2am
You may need a relay for it
❤❤❤❤
just laughed hole episode 😂
Why not both?
Been a spell since a food video!
You know what they say about the guy with the loudest siren…
It ain’t a fire truck unless it’s got a Q on it. Should have put both of them in there 😂. At least the one you put in slows down faster then your typical Q, so don’t need to install a break.
