The truck's a 2000 5 speed, slt 3.55's ,4x4 ,NO #53 block, new lp and injecton pump. 193,000 miles, $11,000. It's setting code p1693. What's this mean and how serious is it? Should I do it?
TIA.

i think the code should be looked into further, as for pump timing, it cant be off unless the pump itself is failing, the pump shaft on the 24v is keywayed...only goes on one way. i would buy it..even with the code and a pump failing, 11k is cheap..especially if its a clean truck.EMD Diesel Power said:I would wait for something with lower miles if you want the 24 valve--- given the pump history on this one and the fact that it still has a code in it.
Otherwise my personal preferences are the 12-valves or the new 3rd Gen HCPR engine. Alot more reliable (both) and more bombability-power (12 valve). I have driven the 3rd gen engines and am quite impressed..... the '03s should be hitting the used market now.... just a thought.
Air filters mean nothing to me.... just so there is nothing but clean material on the engine intake side. I've worked locomotives, and have seen air filters jammed so full of dirt and black crap, yet clean on the intake sides.
Just my thoughts!

i stand by what i said the first time...thats a good price...even with a code set. figure if it needs a pump...thats 1200-1500 bucks...still a good deal.scrappy said:if they used the old key with the new pump it will show a problem. the pump comes with a key and they must match.
