Hi all,
I'm not very mechanically inclined and during a pre trip I found this little lever bar sitting on the drive shift. So naturally I pulled it up out of curiosity and it let out a loud hiss of air from I don't know where. It seems bumps from the truck could cause it to discharge. Idk just looks weird to me. Any idea what it is? On a 2015 international prostar. Thanks !
What is this and should I leave it where it is?

Sounds like a leveling valve but levelling valves don't connect to the driveshaft.

Definitely a levelling valve. Linkage is definitely broken. Guessing its under the cab/sleeper?

Needs to get fixed ASAP.
The linkage to the air leveling valve is broken and rubbing on the driveshaft.
How long is this been this way?
Looks like it’s been a while by the mark on the shaft?Andreybanyuk, 86scotty, Eddiec and 4 others Thank this. -
Fix it NOW... it could cause your sleeper air bags to go out. Sleeper air bag/Struts are $300 (new style) or $750 (old style) each....!!

Hinge the piece 90 degrees,pointing straight up from the bolt head, near where it ends should be a rubber boot or something looking broken, take a pic of that and post
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
It's probably a 5$ part. Might cost 100$ but either way..easy fix
Rideandrepair, Magoo1968 and homeskillet Thank this. -
Might cost nothing try to find other end that looks like the piece still attached. Could be a loose clamp let it unhook . PS this is why you’re ride is rough
