That is a ksb. It's a cold start valve of sorts. If it goes bad, you'll usually see some white smoke and have a bit of a sputter when the truck is cold. That's what happened in my case anyway.

Das ist das Kaltstartbeschleuniger.

i just got this truck the the wiring has been eaten by rats or something, anyway im gonna swap it into my ol ladys crewcab chevy, motor in this truck is supposedly rebuilt but before i go and start planing a swap i wana make sure it runs, so for now i have the FSS hotwired and the air heaters, shall i hot wire this too in order to fire it?

You can it will help it start up, put a 12v wire on it. Mine isnt working so I have a smokey white start up

Yeah, you don't neeeed to have the grid heater working to start it, but it does help. If it's no big chore for you to hook it up, go ahead. If it is though, I wouldn't worry about it.
