Is my comp going bad

The other day I was pulling a 8000 lb trailer, and not long into the trip I noticed the check engine light come on. So I stoped and did the ignition thing and the only code that it pulled up was 1693, but this code has been there for some time. Then I noticed that it felt like the clutch was slippin a little. But today I made a hard run to see what else I could discover and just as I got to 90 mph, I felt a big loss in power then it returned, but didnt seem to be quite as strong. I did this about three times and it happend exactly the same on all three. What do you guys think.

Yah, Im going to do that tomarrow. Does anyone else have any idea. I have ruled out the clutch slipping because when I watched the boost guage it drops 5 to 6 psi. As soon as I can Im going to get the hidden code pulled to see what it is, hopefully its not the IP timing one.
