Filter is made into fuel regulator unit tank needs to be removed. Manufacture states no service interval. Is replaced with fuel pump when it fails. Go figure

Hi I own a Dodge ram 1500 with a 5.9 gas engine. Sometimes I crank to engine but it will not idle, it just dies. I can crank the engine and give it some thottle to get the rpm up some then put it in gear and drive. After driving for about 5 or so miles to the next stop, I can crank the truck up and it fine. I think the fuel filter is clodded or maybe it is the ethenal in the fuel. Should I replace the fuel fitler and if so, where is it located. Thank you

Hello, I didn't see a separate inline fuel filter. The filter maybe part of the regulator assembly? The regulator mounts to the top of the fuel pump module. I'd put a gage on it and check fuel pressure.
