Wife was driving my S10 pickup truck and it just died on her and now it will not start, it is getting fire and has fuel in the tank, so I replaced the (in-line) fuel filter, it was pretty dirty you could barley blow through it. What else could the problem be?

Start with the basics, and work your way up, Last tune up was? Wires plugs ALL filters? If all that is ok, check for a stuck EGR, then test fuel pump pressure, If it won't restart, determine what's missing, the engine needs three things to run, Spark at all plugs, gas to all cylinders, and compression in all cylinders, tho an engine may run lacking one in one cylinder, it won't run very well!
