Is this the norm?
When cranking the motor up, It takes a second or two to fire off. My 01 Cummin's used to fire up as soon as you bumped the starter. The motor build is a 6/03 and I dont know which flash I have. Does this cranking issue sound like the norm or not?

Just a curiousity, but might this also be due to the method used to actuate the injectors? Maybe needs a bit of oil pressure first, and thus a couple of revolutions?
Just a shot at a thought

Just for the record, Ford says up to 11 sec.'s of crank time for gassers and diesels to lite...
