Fuel filter light

I’ve just replaced the fuel filter, fuel bowl, fuel lifter pump and all the fuel lines on the top of the engine, but my fuel filter light Keeps coming on during a load between 1,600 and 2000 rpms, any ideas what’s wring before I waste more money on parts it dosnt need?

The light comes on when the truck senses a vacuum in the fuel bowl. Being you have changed out everything on the engine, I would look at the fuel lines from the tank. The "shower head" strainer in the tank is known to rot off. Maybe it has in your truck, and it has sucked some debris into the fuel line and it is restricting the fuel on a hard pull.
