* For most gasoline engines (likely your case if you didn't specify diesel): The fuel filter is usually located within the fuel pump assembly, inside the fuel tank. This means it's not easily accessible without dropping the tank.
* For diesel engines: The fuel filter is typically located underneath the vehicle, often near the frame rail, but its precise position varies slightly depending on the engine and specific model.
To find the fuel filter, consult your owner's manual. This is the best and most reliable source for its location on your specific 2000 Dodge Ram 1500. Failing that, a quick online search using your specific engine size (e.g., "2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L fuel filter location") will likely yield images and instructions from forums or repair sites.
