Causes of idle loop?

Causes of idle lope?
My truck just did not feel like it was running right and I had no idea of the last filter change. The truck would also die on me if I touched the throttle and let off sudden. I changed the fuel filter and it was black all the way threw with bits in the pleats. That was last weekend and the truck ran better but I planned on bumping up the idle. Then Friday it started to lope when at idle, even after it was warm.
So what all would cause this and where should I start looking?

If you buy fuel from a good station that pumps lots of diesel you don't have to clean the prefilter often.
I cleaned mine at about 50k on both trucks.
It wasn't worth it, hardly dirty.
So at over 250k I haven't done it again.
But I have fuel pressure gauges in the cab that will alert me to any problems.
If you don't know the history of your truck you had better clean the prefilter.
Many people find them totally plugged up.
