I would use OEM filters only.
I have seen lots of issues with aftermarket filters. Most of the time, they are the wrong size and let unfiltered fluids through.

Biodiesel above permitted % is a great way to void the warranty.

There had better be no wrath if the part is to Fords spec or better. This is for consumables like filters, oil, and the like.

You forgot to add RAM/Cummins to that list as well.
He left them out on purpose. The VW, Chevy, and Ford 6.7L all use the same Bosch CP4 series high pressure fuel pump that has been failing. The Cummins 6.7L uses a different Bosch CP3 pump that runs at lower pressures and hasn't been failing.
I believe Chrysler reported to the NHTSA about the same % of HPFP failures as GM and Ford with their current CP3 pump.

The problem is that many filters out there are NOT to Ford spec. The cartridge types are different creatures than the standard spin-on ones most people are used to. I'd hate to lose warranty trying to save a couple $ on a filter. Oil is different: it lists a spec in the manual that should be listed on the bottle of whatever brand you use.
Many of the early 6.0 problems, with ambulance conversions especially, was topping up the coolant with non-ford spec coolant.

I don';t know about the "new' trucks, but the Motorcraft oil filter at Wally world is the best buy also for my early 99.

There should be no need to run a power tuner on an engine that already makes 800 lb-ft of torque!

A thought that is lost on a lot of diesel owners. More is better, "right"?
