Cant find the DPFE

Hello, i just got a 97 F250 HD 5.8L gas and i have a check engine light on. Ive been on the site for the past few days, found the CEL code and narrowed it down to the DPFE sensor. But im having problems figuring out where it is. also it looks like im missing a hose. Ive taken a picture of what i think might be the DPFE and i want to be sure im right before i take anything apart.

You don't have a DPFE on that one, you have the EVR / EVP system.

EVR - EGR vacuum regulator (Farthest forward black device shown in your pic your blue line points at)

EVP - EGR Valve position sensor (mounted on top of the EGR valve)

No missing hose, its a air filter/silencer for the AIR injection system.

Like danr1 stated, your truck has an EVP sensor. This photo from a '93 5.8L is the same as your '97:
