I recommend buying a new intake hose. Any leaks in the intake system could result in dirt going into the engine which ultimately could result in failure. This is sometimes called "dusting" , there are many posts of engine failures with this symptom.
You should be able to find a replacement with the dimensions for total length, bend radius, and the ID of the two ends. Call some truck shops, if they don't have they could recommend a vendor.
