Oh yes more than once. I have a universal one that I carry with me it has happened enough to carry one. It has ends on it that are easy to adjust the length so you can get close until you can get a OE replacement. I have loaned it out to get a buddy through the day. Handy critter to have
I actually had the leveling valve break off the frame bracket one time about put me in the ditch on a two lane with no shoulder didn't like it at all keep on trucking brother and keep up the great work God bless my friend
No fortunately in my career I never had that happen but I never dealt with a lot of air ride equipment I had a lot of other mechanical failures I drove for some small fly by night cartage companies in Chicago and the Tractors and trailers were pretty old held togeather with spit & wire & bubble gum & a little Hope & prayer one company the newest tractor he had was a 1971 and the newest flatbed was a 1952 and I was with this guy in 1992 and the pay was ok it was Union not teamsters it was Chicago Truck Drivers Union eventually they went away and were absorbed into the Teamsters
Did your truck come with the donkey dick exhaust, or did you have that done? Do you notice a lot of exhaust smell in the cab when you are running? I always wondered about that, the european trucks have down-facing exhaust and it just looks cleaner.

@Lostagain9859 that smart. I have governor with me and various other little things but not that. Maybe it’s time to carry one
I lost my fender due to a drive tire blow out. Never a dull moment.
