It's not just in the truck. I've bought things I thought would come in handy, they sat at my house in my shed or whatever, for 5-10 years, never got used, so I throw it out. Two days later, wouldn't you know it, I need the darn thing.Buster Churry, TaterWagon#62, Lepton1 and 1 other person Thank this.

Here is the easiest answer to the OP question. Vise grips are man's best friend. Clamp the line off supplying the bad bag. Same goes for the suspension bags.
Bunch of Seat Warmers!! Tape an air bag. Lol!!

Fiberglass boat fender repair.
Done that before -
Yes clamp it off no bandaid will work on the outside of 120 lbs, sheesh that like putting a bandaid on the outside of a tire. Mighty well put scotch tape on it. I know this from staying at a holiday inn express plus turning wrenches for 30 plus years on big trucks for a living lpl.

Clamping it off with a vice grip works. But I tell you that high pressure tape did just fine on air lines up to 125 psi. It's a must have in my toolbox after my brother helped patch a hole in a airline enough to get rolling and get to where we could but and install a new airline.

I took it to mean cab air bag or under the sleeper
Which usually has those metal air lines
Not suspension air bag or I agree pinch it off and hope to not blast the other ones out before you can get to shop.whoopNride Thanks this.
