SOS Lonely P1693 code with no friends. Where to begin looking?

Fuel pressure gauge would tell more about that typically the stock system is too restrictive for even a stock truck. This why most of us have upgraded to an AirDog or FASS fuel system that replaces all the plumbing between the tank and the VP44. The only thing I would suggest is that you keep the stock filter and not remove it. The idea of double stacking filters is good also the WIF light will continue to work and fuel heater in the bitterly cold winters. 

 

Back to the topic title of the solo 1693 code... We need to pull codes and see where we are going before we buy a bunch of parts that do nothing for your immediate problem.

No doubt!  I've gota get my battery terminals squared away as a first step.  They are a hot mess right now.  The lead ends and bolts are compromised, loose, funky and can't be tightened at all.   I'm going to upgrade to crimped and soldered military terminal ends.  Then I'll go after the system wiring you gave me.  I feel like I need sound connections to my batteries before I go chasing down electrical issues.

 

First things first.

 

I have lots of other vehicles to drive around here so the dragon will sit until I can get some parts delivered up here.

Always first things first.  The only way to eat a Rhinoceros is one bite at a time.
