Where is the electronic throttle body and sensor for a dodge ram 1500?

The electronic throttle body (ETB) on a Dodge Ram 1500 is located on the intake manifold, directly connected to the throttle plate. It's usually quite visible once you open the hood and look at the intake manifold. You'll see a relatively large, cylindrical component with electrical connectors.

The throttle position sensor (TPS) is *integrated* into the electronic throttle body itself. It's not a separate sensor in most modern vehicles, including the Dodge Ram 1500. The ETB contains the TPS and other sensors, all working together as a single unit.

Therefore, you don't need to look for a separate TPS; locating the ETB is finding both.
