I "got" when I first purchased my truck back in 2023.
I purchased "Mopar" fuel filters on eBay, thinking I was probably buying old dealer stock at a discount price.
I installed the first set, and the truck ran 10,000 without trouble.
I was due for the next change about a month ago now, and have since learned that those filters I purchased were fakes, but I went ahead and used them again as I had originally purchased three sets of the filters from the ebay seller thinking they would be fine since the first set I installed did fine.
They do not perform correctly. I drove the truck several times after filter replacement about a month ago, and now the truck has started surging and missing.
I believe it is due to fuel starvation at high-pressure demand.
According to my MM3, the demand and actual are around 1,000-2,500 psi off from each other all the time.
All that being said, LESSON LEARNED. I am going to purchase new fuel filters for the truck.
Has anyone run Doc's Diesel?
They are supposed to be OEM equivalent.
They are about $42 cheaper than Geno's OEM filters.

You can’t cheap out on filters.
Even dealerships have been bitten by knock-off filters.
