Thats a good question actually. I made the assumption that it wouldn't crank at all because you stated it doesn't matter how hard you press the clutch in.

It's starting to sound more like a starter issue. There is a starter relay on your fuse panel. And I'm sure there's also a fuse for it. I'm trying to think off all the simple things.

I tried to pull up the owners manual online, but it seems that part of the Ford website is down. I don't know when it changed but your fuse panel is different from mine so I can't look it up and tell you.

Correction. The 99 owners manual is unavailable. I was able to pull up the 2000. I know where are differences between the e99 and 2000, but I can't speak intelligently about what they are. I didn't see a starter relay for the 2000. For mine, which is an 03, it's relay 307. I do know the fuse panels changed. I think it was in 01?

Ya mine is an e99. Could it be the starter itself? Next to the fuse box under the good there are two other black boxes. Is it one of those?

On the right fender you'll see a relay that resembles the glow plug relay. If you jumper the two large lugs, the starter should engage. Obviously, make sure the transmission is in neutral, and the park brake is set before doing so . . .

Ok I'll try that tomorrow. If that doesn't start the truck then would that be the starter?

Usually if it is the starter it will atleast try to turn. But that doesn't mean it wont be the starter. Do you have a multimeter?

Not necessarily. But if it does turn over normally when the relay is jumpered, then the starter is eliminated as the problem.

Slowing down a bit, if you short the two big posts on the starter relay located on the passenger fender well, does the starter crank? What is the voltage on your battery cables (not the battery posts)? This could be a simple matter of corroded or loose cables.
