Alright i recently made a topic about some other codes and took the truck to the dealer to speak to them about the truck i just bought, long story short i got P0216 and took it to the mechanic and he tells me he cleared all the codes and drove it around and it didn't dead pedal. so i was driving it home and it did it 1 time. got home and checked my codes from the ODO window after he already cleared them and got :

P1693 (someone explained it to me, what i got was it threw it because P0216 was thrown, correct?)
P0216 (again)

i understand thats IP timing failure but what can result in that? im hoping to find a cheaper fix if there is a problem causing that instead of dropping cash when not needed.

*truck is a 02, no mods, 83k*

Your VP44 injection pump is dead...

you are running on borrowed time now

your VP44 is like our economy, going down hill fast.
it will do it more and more.
(should have a $ that lights up on the dash when P0216 is set)

The p0216 means IP timing failure due to wear. It will cause dead pedal and white smoke as well as rough running after a while. I know, I just got this one and the truck is in pieces waiting for my new pump to get here.

so i guess the dealer said since its a used car and i went over 30 day 1000 mile warranty (they only cover a certain %) that if they help me out now its only by heart or some bullsheit. so should i even go back to see what its gonna cost or should i just do it?

i would go back and see what can be done. if nothing else see if they will discount the pump and you install it. fyi you can get a pump for $1000-$1300 if you buy it out right from a vendor on the forum :thumbsup:

try to get the dealer to cover parts and you'll put it in.
get rid of stock lift pump also

My dad is going to call up there shortly, hes just making me mad saying hes not spending 1 dollor on it, and doesnt see why i would need an aftermarket one and stuff so im trying to get money together so i can skip him all together. im working towards money for a AD or some sort of aftermarket pump
