The truck doesn't fire up?  It's likely not a tach wire problem.  Do you have a delay hooked up so that the remote start waits for the glow plugs to cycle?

see thats likely the problem.  Glow plugs will be on for different lengths of time depending on the temperature.   Most remote newer remote starts hook up to the wait to start light.  This way, when the wait to start light shuts off, the truck starts.  The problem with using a timed delay is that the time is never right.  Either it is too long and glow plugs cool off before it starts or it is too short and the glow plugs aren't warmed up enough.  Its impossible for it to work properly.

The reason I asked if the truck fires up or not is I am trying to see where your problem is.  If your truck actually starts but holds the starter on, then your problem will be your tach wire.  If it doesn't even start (just cranks over) then the problem is NOT the tach wire and is most likely the glow plugs or a bad ignition wire connection.

What kind of remote start are you using?  Does it have a glow plug input wire?  IF you were to go out in the morning, how long would the wait to start light stay on?  Does it start really good with the key?

Try setting the delay closer to the actual time it takes for the wait to start light to go off in the morning.  Your going to have to start it on a cold morning with the key and time the wait to start light.  You will likely need to change it from season to season.
