It's best to replace all it one time.

With the truck up to temp and in park push the go pedal to the floor it should rev to 3k easy if it sputters around 1500-2000 then shoots to 3k then they are bad

It wouldn't hurt to check the fuel pressure

Bad orings can put a black grime on the filter and turn the fuel a bluish color
