A little help, PLEASE!

I've come across a problem I'm not sure about. I have an '05 F350 with the diesel and when I'm sitting at a red light the RPM's drop down and it seems like it's going to stall. It also seems to bog down when I'm leving the line giving the motor a only a little bit of acceleration. This problem doesn't occur all the time. but it still has me worried. I recently changed out both fuel filters and thats when it seemed to start, coincidence? I figured it might be bad fuel, so I've been using a cetane additive with every tank I get, but it hasn't stopped.
If anyone has some constructive ideas I'd love to hear back from you.

Did you use the redesigned new filters?

What make / brand filter did you use?

Where did you get it?

Do you have pics of the box?

There is a redesigned part.

Ford 6.0 Liter Turbo Diesel Motorcraft FD-4616 Fuel/Water Seperator Filters(FD4616): Pick Up & Excursion-REPLACES MOTORCRAFT FD-4604-NEW UPDATED


Did you do the "priming" to purge air out of the system after you changed filters?

Check the "fuel filter changing" post in the forum. Pull both filters while doing this and make sure you didn't crush one of them while instaaling them. Then purge the system like the post says. Good luck.
