A couple weeks ago I couldn't go faster than 40mph on the highway with the petal on the floor. I changed the prefilter, cause I could see it was plugged, but not the spin on filter. I still had the problem. Once I changed the spin on filter, the problem was gone. So it wouldn't hurt to change it. If its super clogged after the diesel purge it's probably not helping the cause. It's probably due for a change since you did a diesel purge, and this was it's ruled out as a problem.
