7.3 IDI Tachometer
Here's a pin-out for all the wiring behind the cluster if it can help.- WMO4IDI

7.3 IDI Tachometer
This! I had tach issues for a while, new sensor on the IP, fresh wiring from the cluster to the connector... And it ended up being just the connector itself which I replaced with basic spade connectors on each wire.- WMO4IDI

Bump steer issues on twin I-beam F350
It was straight when I left the shop and it tilted right a few miles down the road, not as much as before though. Maybe I have compounding issues...- WMO4IDI

Bump steer issues on twin I-beam F350
The issue started this winter, I though I simply had a bad alignment at first, the steering wheel was tilted 2-3 degrees to the left but one day suddenly it was tilted to the right a few degrees. Now that it's spring time and the roads are truly disastrous with the thaw, the issue got worse, if...- WMO4IDI

Bolt on exhaust system recommendations
Just run 8' tall stacks coning out of the sides behind the cab, noise won't be too much of an issue You might be able to adapt Flowmaster kit #17198, it's a 3" exhaust for the 7.5L gasser. There's also Walker that makes a few kits I remember seeing on RockAuto. >>> Stack kits available on...- WMO4IDI

Noise abatement?
Just another suggestion, I'd cut out the cab mount trap door & expose the bolt head in the back before you lay the carpet down, it could save you a headache if you ever have to swap out the mounts. Besides that, it's a beautiful job!- WMO4IDI

Has anyone ever tried maxing out cetane boost in synthetic WMO to avoid friggin' around with the timing?
I wonder if the original blend had anti-ignition additives, I know some hydraulic fluids have it when used in hi-temp applications.- WMO4IDI

I agree with your point, I was just saying that for my application I might be better off putting a 12V silicone heating mat with a thermostat on the fuel filter for winter time. Apparently these engines run best when the fuel entering the IP is between 60F to 100F, hotter than that and fuel...- WMO4IDI

From running on my first batch this week, I didn't get a decent burn until I had it mixed 50/50 with pump diesel. It ran fine, simply under powered. It's still cold, averaging a few degrees below freezing during the day so what HeadHunter38 was saying might be part of it too.- WMO4IDI

Well I did the prep work for adding a heating element to my WMO tank when I built it, I never bothered to put one in yet.... Mind you, a silicone heating mat around the fuel filter might be more efficient for that purpose since I'm already measuring the viscocity of my mix to match diesel.- WMO4IDI

I tried a first batch, straight forward mix of 75% WMO, 25% RUG, normal amount of Diesel Mate per volume. I put 10 gallons into a fuel tank with about 5 gallons of pump diesel and although it ran smooth, it felt severely handicapped power wise & smoked like a champ whenever I'd push ******* the...- WMO4IDI

Not from my limited understanding of cetane science, it would just make the WMO less viscous. Cetane is basically just the opposite of the octane scale for RUG, higher cetane # means easier combustion at high pressure, thus easier starting & more power.- WMO4IDI

I've never used synthetic motor oil for wmo before, I'm just going from what I've read multiple times in various posts on here.- WMO4IDI

Not 100% sold on pressure washing, you could get water stuck in-between panels. I second the dish soap idea followed by acetone right before sticking on the panels.- WMO4IDI
