I just did my first filter change on my 2011 Dmax. 19,800 miles and 2 years. The filter minder still indicated 49% life remaining, but the 2 years was up.
Drained the filter completely into a clear glass, and there was absolutely no water present....
Like the Dentist said, “just because you don’t have pain, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem.” Water and Diesel are a problem.
You do realize that old one was a non-paper media OEM coalescing filter that removes 99.9% of emulsified water droplets? I hope you replaced it with the same or the Racor equivalent. Know also, unlike most other retail available filters, that filter does not have a bypass when clogged. Performance will wane or stop altogether at end of life, in case you don’t believe the DIC % left. It’s the best available filtering to use in a stock configuration.
The WIF sensor on the HD is a joke. If it ever does activate, you've got a serious amount of water (in 4 HDs and 100s of 1000s of miles, I’ve seen it once, 10 minutes after a fillup).
You'd be hard pressed to find any HD owner that witnessed any water exiting from that drain valve. They can develop leaks, are ineffective, and many owners delete it with a plug instead.

How many Class 8 trucks have you ever seen stopped on side of the road from bad fuel?
How many have you seen that don't have extensive filtering and water separators for fuel?
