15k is the normal for changing your fuel filter. More often if you get fuel from questionable stations.

7.3's only have the one filter. 6.0 trucks have two.

It would be a good idea to check your left inside frame rail, someone may have added a filter there, maybe in conjuction with intank fuel pickup, filler tube mods.

Install a fuel pressure gauge to your fuel bowl to get a better understanding of your fuel flow .
The gauge readings reveal quite a bit about conditions of fuel line components.
