your pass side cold air intake tube is missing. check the other side - it looks almost identical. not a must-have, but find one sooner rather than later.

Thanks. I'm assuming maybe when changing the oil you remove this piece or something.

And, I did notice that acceleration seemed a bit sluggish, I know it's a diesel... This is probably why.
