Could be the fuel pump getting weak and not being able to keep up. How many miles on truck and has the pump been changed before?

pull the filter and give it a look. Could have gotten a bad batch of fuel or something. Did you clean the screen out when you changed filter?

X2 on cleaning the screen. I cleaned my screen out while the injectors were out then once it fired back up I had to clean it again.

Drain the bowl. Replace filter.
