I had my fuel filters replaced last week in my 2016, 2500 6.7l. At 459 miles/20 gallons, it gave me the replace fuel filters warnings. Literally overnight, my fuel filter life went from 98% to 0%. It still runs like a top. I had to drive it home from the lake and had no issues. I can't believe that I've picked up so much crap in one fill that it would plug both filters. Tips? Should I just reset again and soldier on?

Yeah might be some sort of weird glitch. U program it at all? I know my old duramax would say fuel filter change every time I flashed it for some reason.

Who replaced the fuel filters? If it was not a RAM dealer, were Mopar filters used?

I used a Wix fuel filter before, and the percentage left was close to zero after only a few hundred miles.

Mopar or Fleetguard only for the fuel filter, the water separator you have a couple of other quality options.
