I had the opposite. The '96 I had would take a few seconds to fire, my E99 fires right off... as long as it's not colder than a witch's t*t out.

i don't know exactly why it does. but my bosses 99 does the same thing. i think it might have something to do with the split shot injectors vs. the single shot. but like ocean diesel said, it's the opposite with him.

I had split shots in my truck and it started immediately... It's just truck specific. You could have an old starter on the superduty or whatever the case may be..

Not sure about alternator... But starter should work.. I think your factory starter might only have a two bolt mount, where as the 94 will have a 3 bolt mount.. You will just have to bolt up the two i believe.

When I replaced the starter on my E99 last year, the computer at the parts store simply stated "Starter, 7.3L Turbo Diesel", no specific year. It was the only one their computer had listed, and fit perfectly.

Yes, The starters are the same from 94-03 but there are two different mounting styles, some a 3 bolt and some are 2 bolt. The earlier ones are the 3 and the SD ones are usually 2.
