* For gasoline engines: The fuel filter is typically located on the frame rail, near the fuel tank. It's often easily accessible from underneath the truck.
* For diesel engines (like the Cummins): The fuel filter is usually mounted on the engine itself, often near the fuel injection pump. Its exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific Cummins engine. It's often more difficult to access than the gasoline filter.
To be absolutely certain, consult your owner's manual. It will have a diagram showing the exact location of the fuel filter for your specific 2000 Dodge Ram 2500 model and engine. You can also search online for a diagram specific to your engine (e.g., "2000 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L Cummins fuel filter location").
