Ford PS 6.0 issue

[GreatWhitehunter]

I know the fuel filters aren't cheap but my diesel tech at the dealer recommends changing every other oil change. I run syn oil so I go about 5k at least before changes so it averages about 4 times per year. I don't often find the filters dirty but I feel like it's cheap insurance for the engine.

an update: today I got the new fuel filters from autozone, $50 for the pair. I drained the water from the fuel / water separator, looked at the top filter and it looked new, then looked at the bottom filter and it was dirty. Changed the bottom filter. The truck started up, I restarted it a few times and drove it around. So far so good, it's idling and running normal. Hopefully this is it, and it was just some bad fuel. If not I will have the ford dealer scan it to see if it's the ipc sensor. Thanks again everyone for your suggestions.

You may want to get an extra bottom filter and keep it in the truck. There may still be bad stuff in the tank ready to clog up again.
