Default How much damage did I cause?

My daily driver is a GMC Canyon 2.8 4cyl, and I have a custom intake on it. But today I noticed that one of the bellows popped off of the air filter. I think I drove it for about 1000 miles It seems to be running okay, but did I cause any engine damage because of this? I know its not an LS1, but I'd really appreciate some of your thoughts on this...

Who knows how much crap it sucked in....nobody. What can you really do about it now. If you don't plan on tearing the engine completly apart and check it for wear, don't worry about it. Probably didn't hurt it unless you drive behind dump trucks on gravel roads every day. You don't do you?

Oh well, I guess I can sell it before I see any signs of wear . After all, I should get a DD that actually gets BETTER mileage than my T/A
