Default Bad air ride compressor

So my air ride compressor on my 07 suburban died. I haven't heard it run in weeks. Today I looked into it and I bench tested the compressor. It buzzes but does not run.

Question is. Till I get a replacement. Is it bad to drive the truck with out it??

I don't think it will be a problem for normal driving, I wouldn't put it under any loads of towing anything as that could affect handling...

I pulled the fuse on my Compressor when I found out my Air Shocks were toast. I drove around town for two weeks without it on. I only tow small trailers. Had No issues, just sat a little lower.

I put Arnott Shocks in and reinstalled the fuse. Everything seems fine, I just went on a 5000 miles trip loaded down with luggage and 4 people.
