As the title says - I just did head gaskets on the truck, it lasted about 300 miles before it lost an injector and filled the crankcase with fuel. I am wrapping up the new injector install - Do I need to put another new oil filter on the truck since it had the full of fuel situation? Filter literally has less than 300 miles on it.

Yes,I would actually change it at least 2 more times to insure all that fuel is purged out where it's not supposed to be.
