Where is the drain plug for 2003 Dodge Ram?

The location of the drain plug on a 2003 Dodge Ram depends on the differential(s) you're draining. There's typically one for the front differential and one for the rear differential. They are *not* located in the same place as the engine oil drain plug.

You'll need to get under the truck to find them. They're usually located on the bottom of the differentials, which are housings near the axles.

* Rear Differential: This is usually the larger of the two differentials and is located towards the rear of the vehicle, near the rear axle. The drain plug is typically a square or hex bolt, often on the bottom of the differential cover.

* Front Differential: This is located near the front axle, typically smaller than the rear differential. Similar to the rear, the drain plug is usually a square or hex bolt at the bottom. Some front differentials on 4x4 Rams may not have a drain plug, depending on the axle type.

Important Note: Before you start, consult your owner's manual. It will have diagrams showing the exact locations and the type of drain plug (size, shape). This will prevent you from working on the wrong bolt. You also need to be aware of the type of fluid needed for a refill.

If you are unsure about working under your vehicle, it is best to consult a qualified mechanic.
