Are your brakes smoking yet? Or on fire ...

You must fix the fast air leak, it is likely causing at least one of your brakes to engage which won't take long to smoke that brake and even set it on fire if you are persistent enough with it. Even if you have vice grips if you can find the line you need to pinch it so you can get to a shop you should do that. Continuing on is not smart.
Now wait for it - here come all the company guys who will say to sit on the side of the road with your tail between your legs and call your dispatch. Make sure to use your triangles and use all ppe!....DoneYourWay and Lepton1 Thank this. -
Don't they arrest you for using your pp on t he side of the road these days?Lepton1 Thanks this.

I don't know I've never been on the side of the road.
Lepton1 Thanks this. -
If your bags are deflate it's also very hard on your transmission to be driving it down the road. If your rear ends aren't sitting on the the same level line with your transmission your gears will shake themselves to death
DoneYourWay and nax Thank this. -
That is true. I would still do it for a short duration to get off the side of road though.

Ya your good for a bit but it's taking year off it's life in a quick way.

Do what gokiddo says. Pinch it off and go down the road. Especially since your bobtailing. It'll be fine. If you want to trouble shoot it just use ypur suspension dump switch. If its the bag it'll stop leaking because they'll be no air in it.
Lepton1 Thanks this.
