If I wasn't so lazy, I would've gone out to the garage last night and looked up the code in the FSM... I'll check when I get home tonight but it definitely wasn't 1693... that flippin' companion code is always the first one to pop into my head.

A VP never justs quits without running bad or throwing codes for days or even weeks before they die! You must be crazy! At least...that's what everybody said when mine quit just like yours did.

You might have a close look at the injectors.

Gee does this ever sound familiar.

Melted number 6 pulling Afton Mountain. Ran the truck almost 400 miles with it knocking like someone was in there with a sledge trying to get out. Figured it would either get me home or fall out on the pavement smoking. Scheids said didn't even score the cylinder walls, just ran a glaze breaker and put in a new slug.

Got the extra pistons in the shed, PM me if you need one.
