Duramax Struggling

Did search, no results, maybe because it's a dumb question. Anyway, 2003, GMC 2500HD pulling a 30 ft 5er in the mountains. Have driven this route before with no prob. Yesterday (Mon 17th) different story. Going up some hills I was down to 30 MPH. First recommendation I received was, replace fuel filter. Sounds logical....except my MPG went UP when the truck was struggling. That doesn't compute in my feeble mind. Would the filter be your first concern?
