Question what is this?

There is a can looks like a brake booster on the left side of the engine compartment with a vacuum line to it and a cable that runs to the carb. but the cable isnt hooked to it. i dont think thats right but i dont know what it is to fix it. unless its emissions related cause it will probably disappear then.

It does almost sound like a cruise servo.

Definitely sounds like a cruise servo; which pulls on the throttle linkage to adjust your speed when the cruise control is engaged.

WoomaHodal, just out of curiosity, where is this unit on your truck?

I didn't notice it in your gallery.
