To find it:
1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source. It will show a diagram and specify the location for your specific engine.
2. Use a repair manual: A Haynes or Chilton manual for your year and model will have detailed diagrams and instructions.
3. Online resources: Search online for "2000 Dodge Ram 1500 [your engine size] fuel filter location." You'll find pictures and videos from other owners who have tackled this job. Be sure to verify the information with your owner's manual.
General locations (but not guaranteed for all 2000 Ram 1500s): Fuel filters are often found near the fuel tank or along the fuel line running to the engine. They are usually cylindrical in shape and might be metal or plastic. Look for fuel lines connected to it. However, *do not* rely on this general information; always use your owner's manual or a reputable repair guide.
