Question
I want to know how to increase the sensitivity on the alarm. I can barely hear it if the alarm goes off at night so for that I can change the horns but I want to increase sensitivity so if the car is bumped, the alarm sounds

Answer
All after market alarms differ.
First, move the siren to the front of the vehicle
and face the bell part downwards to prevent a rain
"bucket" affect.

As far as the shock sensor, you need to locate the
sensor, usually placed up under the dash cavity area
and turn the setting wheel clockwise to turn up the
sesitivity.

I'd take the truck to the local car alarm
installer for this.

Factory or OEM alarms do not have shock sensors,
or sirens. They honk the horn and
flash the headlights. If this is yours,
you should then add an after market piece
to enhance the security you have now.
