(SOLVED!) Got Truck Back from Dealership - Missing Airbox Clip(s)

Dropped my truck off for the 3 year service about a year ago and just now I noticed that it was missing an airbox clip when I went to change the oil myself this time. It has been a year like this that I know of, possibly 2+ years. Would this cause any damage running with an unsealed corner of the intake?

 

It looks good. Did you peek at the air filter?

 

I did, totally clean. Truck only sees occasional trail time to campsites. If you look at the back left latch in the second photo it is completely gone. Not sure if there could have been dirt or anything sucked in from this but definitely a surprise to notice!

 

Where’s the problem? It only gets 2 clips, they both are there

 

There's nothing missing. There are two clips that hold the airbox cover down. The end by the intake hose has two 'fingers' that fit in slots to hold that end down.

 

Oh, I assumed that the mounting location on the back left was where another clip would go. My apologies, never seen that before! Thanks for the help.

 

Thought there were supposed to be 3. That’s my bad. Thanks for your help!

 

simmer down .......all is normal on your truck......sit down, get someone to give a cup of cold water and take deep breaths

 

Haha, I try to be really meticulous with maintenance on my truck, so just wanted to check!
