Did you purge all the air from the fuel lines and filter after the pump/filter change?

Fill out your Sig (under User CP - top left) and put what year truck, trans, etc, so those wanting to help, will know what you're messing with.

And welcome to our forums.

Fuel Pressure test ?
Before any parts .
If the lift pump went out then it may have damaged the VPump .

Sounds like you didn't seal up the filter lid or something just right, and is letting air in. I would double check everything that you loosened up and make sure it is sealed good.
