Next Tuesday, the 9th, National Spring in El Cajon, CA is gonna replace ALL
4 spring-packs, on my 2000 F250 SD/SC 4x4, seen at webpage
http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://homepage.mac.com/dhsanto/PhotoAlbum.html, with THEIR spring-packs.
Gonna also have upgraded bushings installed, front & rear, 4 Bilstein shocks
(to replace the Edelbrocks currently installed ‹ E's are good, but...),
Air-Lift Air Bags on the rear, Super-Duty version, and the dual-gauge in-cab
controller. Will let you know anything special afterwards, if you would
like.

Sounds like a hydraulic problem, either the clutch master or slave.

I had a 96 F350 with the 5 speed that had the same noise.  It turned out to
be the master cylinder.

It sounds like you have a bad controller or some (or all) glow plugs.  There
were many revisions of the glow plug system on the 94-97 Diesels due to high
failure.  The latest seems to have fixed the problem.
I had the same problem on my '96 right after I bought it.  It was very
strange though.  I would cycle the glow plugs and crank, no start.  Switch
fuel tanks, cycle the glow plugs, and it would start right away.  If I was
to shut it off right away and try to restart it, I would have to switch back
over to the tank I was on and do it all over again. ....
