starting issue

I see it says 99 to current but i dont see a place to ask about my 97 f-250 460 HD 4x4 It has been long cranking and then sputtering for just a second when it starts but then it runs great, and unless I let it sit for a couple hours, starts right up. Seems like its getting worse and now today will not start. Just wondering if anyone had the same problem and knew off the top of their head what it is.

Hi Bill, welcome to FTE!

It's actually in the fine print, the '87-'96 forum also covers the HD 1997 trucks. I'm gonna move this one down there.
