Wix lists their oil filter 51324 (https://wixfilters.com/Lookup/PartDetails.aspx?Part=29383) for the 4D55 2.3L turbodiesel. I found that also fits all the other Ram 50 gas engines as a larger upgrade to the Wix 51381 (https://wixfilters.com/Lookup/PartDetails.aspx?Part=41269) normally spec'd for those -- effectively identical filter specs aside from the size and 5 psi higher burst pressure for the 51324, reckon they spec the larger filter for the diesel to deal with soot getting into the oil.

I had no trouble ordering the Wix 51324 from O'Reilly's a year or so ago, still in stock there and at Amazon:

As for the air filter, Fram lists their CA4369 (https://www.fram.com/fram-extra-guard-air-filter-ca4369) for the 4D55 2.3L turbodiesel, which x-refs to the Wix WA6019 (https://wixfilters.com/Lookup/PartDetails.aspx?Part=2097415), Purolator A43583, Champ/Luber-Finer AF4368, and K&N E-2871 (https://www.knfilters.com/e-2871-replacement-air-filter). I'm seeing those in stock online here:
