I cleared the code to continue on, but when I got home I changed the filter back to an AC Delco and have never had a low fuel pressure issue since. Now before anyone jumps out there defending a WIX filter-I know them to be a quality product. Sold them and used them for years. I just wont use them for a fuel filter on my Dmax.
I have heard of several people who have had problems with aftermarket filters. For a very few bucks more for the OEM why take the chance with a $20,000 Diesel engine? Not me.
