Can this tachmeter be adapted to an older diesel (6.2 GM diesel motor)?

Not sure if a diesel motor is the same as a gas, but as long as it has coils or a distributor, it should work. Only four wires on the tach. Green was to my coil pack, red for power, one ground, and one for the light to work. I installed this tach on an 82 Datsun 720 gas motor.

That is a pretty long distance to go for this gauge. The wires are small so, if you do try, use at least 14 ga. wire.Not sure you'll get a good signal that far away. I recommend trying to locate the gauge closer to the engine.You may want to consider an outboard specific unit if you want the tach as a main feature.If you are most concerned with the hour meter portion, then mount the gauge close to the motor as you don't look at the hours very often.This gauge is good for small engines and the hour meter feature is real useful.

Newer diesels require filtering in the micron range. I would not recommend this filter for that.

The unit read by the up and down movement of the arm. I do not see a problem with diesel.

I don't believe so. I have the 06 2500 duramax diesel w/ Allyson trans. It's pretty scary with it set to the 2nd setting and it even increased my MPG- how I don't know. I haven't and don't feel I need to go to the 3rd setting. Call Hypertech, that's what I did to confirm. Good CS and they'll lead you in the right direction. Hope this helped.

My guess is yes, as the specs state diesel is okay. But you should probably try to confirm that by looking up and reading the user guide for it or find the specs on Rules own website

I am not sure. I believe that those motors use a digital tach with trim sensor built in. If I recall correctly it is a plug and play system directly into the wiring harness

I called Design Technology who manufactures the tiny tach after receiving my tiny tach and they instructed me with my setup. It was quite simple and not complicated at all. They should be able to tell you if it will work with your setup. Their number is 630-920-1300......I am very happy with my purchase as i can monitor my engine rpm in real time.

I have a 1986 Invader and it works with the original gauge. As to what kind of gauge it is, I couldn't say.

there would be no way of knowing with out rigging up some kind of tach to it!! it is variable speed and u will find the speed you need

I currently use this for my 2005 chevy silverado and works better than the OEM tool that went "missing". I doubt the component this interfaces has changed between our two trucks. Might be worth checking out since it is sold and ships by Amazon...would make a potential return easier.

I'm a private owner and not a dealer. Best to call Yamaha Customer Service to see which Tach or Dual Gauge models are compatible. I know that Yamaha changed the guage/motor compatibility some time ago. Also perform an internet search to see recommemndations. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

HA! Nope. This is a motorcycle battery. You could probably get it to work. You'd need a couple of them to get enough amps to crank the diesel motor.

Not Sure, However A Good Product That I Have Used On Alot Of MB.C. Never Used On A Diesel Before.

Autometer's instructions mentions diesels, see http://www.autometer.com/download_instruction/2650-1424-00.pdfQuote:"For some engine/vehicle types (most Chrysler vehicles, diesel engines, etc.) you will be required to input a value for the engine size of the vehicle."I have a TDI too, but I'm reluctant to try this product because Autometer isn't very clear on their diesel stance.

What's the displacement of your engine?If this is a diesel truck, I doubt this kit will work...
