Help with Part Please

I have a 93 F250 7.3L IDI What exactly is the name for the box that sits on the inside of the right front fender? Is it the starter solenoid relay, glow plug relay?? Anyhow, one of the bolts has broke and in order to start it, once the glow plugs are warm, I take a screwdriver and touch both of the big terminals. What is that part called and where can I get one? Thanks and sorry about the stupid question as this is my first diesel.

You had it right the first time, starter solenoid relay. Same as it would be for gas Ford truck. You can get it at any auto parts store fairly cheaply.
