What Do These Codes Mean

P1693-dtc detected in pcm
P0230-transfer pump CKT out of range
don't know what they mean but i hooked a snap-on scanner to the truck and this is what they said. The scanner did say that the truck was ok to drive, just wanting to know what these mean

I don't see a fuel gauge listed in your sig. Fuel pressure may be the most important issue on the 24 valve motors. Fuel cools and lubes the VP44 injection pump, and low fuel pressure will cause the VP44 to fail.
Check your fuel pressure. You likely need a new lift pump, and hopefully you caught it in time to prevent VP44 failure.
Or you could go to the FASS or similar type of upgraded fuel supply system.

Racer9 is right on - and I would NOT drive the truck until I had a good feeling about the FP to the IP, the LP can go south ($150-200) and kill the VP44 (~$1.4k)....

....converting to a more reliable aftermarket LP such as the FASS, Walbro or RASP is always a good thing - and you most certainly will need a FP gauge!

You need a fuel pressure gauge to make sure your VP44 injection pump is getting enough #2
