* In the fuel tank: This is common for many 2005 Ram trucks. If this is the case, the filter is not easily accessible and requires tank removal or specialized tools for replacement.
* On the frame rail: Some models, particularly those with diesel engines, have the filter mounted on the frame rail, usually near the fuel tank. This is more accessible for replacement.
To find the precise location, you'll need to:
1. Check your owner's manual: This is the best place to start. The manual should have diagrams showing the location of all major components, including the fuel filter.
2. Consult a repair manual specific to your truck's engine: A repair manual will have detailed diagrams and instructions for fuel filter replacement.
3. Search online: Use a search engine like Google and specify your engine type (e.g., "2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L fuel filter location"). You'll likely find images and forum posts from other Ram owners who have performed the replacement.
Without knowing the specific engine size (e.g., 3.7L, 4.7L, 5.7L, Cummins diesel) it's impossible to give you a precise location.
