I had a code (1693) on my 2001, took it to dodge they said i need a new lp. The truck still runs fine and no power loss. If I run it till it dies on me will it take any other parts with it. If i do need a new one is there anywhere i can get one for cheaper than $600, that is what they said one will cost. What Should I Do?

 

i would fix what i could, drivng a cummins with hydra boost brake system when the truck dies on you going down the road is not fun. when your truck not running your brakes arnt working good enough to stop, found that out first hand

 

Yes and yes. Low fuel pressure from a bad LP will cause the injector pump to go bad. IP replace=$1200 to $2000. Buy your pump from Cummins or on line for about $150 and do it your self. You can find info here on how to do it.

 

Go here for a new LP and 4 banjo bolt washers to do the job. You might want to think about a fuel presure gauge. This will tell you when your lift pump is going for sure. your LP pressure should be 14 at idle and around 9 @ wide open throttle. http://www.hoeslidiesel.com./
