Stops running while driving

Truck will be running good then it will suddenly stop running, started happening after fuel filter replacements and bled the fuel system

I recommend you pull the upper cap. Inspect surgically the cap for a crack or defective o ring..

If the bowl is full, I would think the rail filter is good. (lower). Trace leaks should be noticeable when parked.

Make sure your using a few drops of Diesel to lube the o-ring before reinstalling. They crank down hard so be careful to fully seat it.

Did you KOEO for 20 seconds 5-6 times after the filter changes?

What's your fuel level and did you replace filters/cap with motorcraft or aftermarket?

Put a gauge in and monitor low pressure fuel when it dies.

Start it and crack the upper filter cap until fuel runs out. I've had to do that on my cargo truck after fuel system service. It just doesn't bleed very well without human intervention. Also, make sure the filter cap on the lift pump at the frame is tight and not sucking air.

Again, did you verify fuel level?
