Have you checked the Voltage to your APPS?
Are you still cruisin around with the Stock LP?
It could be toast.

Was your tach doing anything weird when it stalled? If im not mistaken 1693 mean the tach has low voltage and 1694 is the TCM (tranny control mod) has no bus signal. And since the both run off each other, if the tach has low voltage and dies on ya, the TCM will read that the motor has not rpm's and will shut off

I'd go ahead and check your APPS.
I was having similar problems with my truck and that cleared it up for me.
Good Luck!

update so i swapped the apps from my buddys truck which is the same year and everthing and its the same.only thing i noticed was the truck would start with jumper cables then as soon as you take them off it stalls so i figured it was the alternator so i changed it today and now nothing it wont even start.im thinking the ecm is shot also one more question if i were to p pump it would that get rid of the ecm problems thanks need help

My truck did the same thing... I had a ground loose on the passenger side so I re-connected that and primed the whole fuel system again to be safe and haven't had a problem since.

When the truck died my tach and all gauges would hold for a few seconds like the power was cut off but then start right back up with some cranking. It also gave me the no bus signal when I ran the diagnostics. Check all your connections and grounds, it could be as simple as one loose to fix your problem

Mine did the same thing with my Fass system. Sounds like your loosing power somewhere.
As big of a pain it is check any connection that would control it. Like I said mine was just a ground and everytime I would shut the hood it would kill the truck so I started it up and shook all my connections one by one and found it.
