Just had our 2007 Chevy 2500HD Duramx in for service. it has 61K miles. Had oil change and fuel filter and air filter changed. Headed out on our trip and today just 600 miles into service we are going down the road and DIC light came on and said fuel filter life is 0% and engine will reduce. Limped our way to a safe place for the night. Can anyone shed some light before we head to a service place tomorrow.

did the shop that changed the filter reset the system?
•Reset the fuel filter monitor.
•For vehicles with steering wheel controls, press and hold the select button for 5 seconds while the FUEL FILTER LIFE message is displayed.
This message will appear on the driver information center (DIC) for ten seconds.
•For vehicles without steering wheel controls, do the following:
3.1. Without pressing the pedals, turn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine.
3.2. Wait 5 seconds.
3.3. Completely press the brake and the accelerator pedals simultaneously and hold for 10 seconds. The system is now reset.
3.4. Turn the ignition key OFF.
•The next time the engine is started, the message will no longer be displayed.
ALWAYS reset the FUEL FILTER LIFE system after a fuel filter change
