That question is a real BIG can of worms. First thoughts are that it should burn ok. Then that brings us back upstream to the intercooler. He indicated that he went through quite alot of WD. Over time it becomes gummy if left to it's own devices. But there is a plus on the Super Duties that may help it along the intake.....that of course would be the oil blowby that is ingested also. The oil and the WD combination may just give his intercooler a good cleaning. He doesnt' appear to be having any problems at lower altitudes; other than the ones he's reported. And there has been enough time to expose any starting problems possibly connected to the WD. I think he'll be alright. Hope that answers your question.
