did you looked under air filter, next to brake booster

Try checking under the air filter box. It was located there on my Gen 4.5 and Gen 3 are very similar in many situations.

I have a short ram intake, and the only thing under it is the wheel well... hmm

well what does one look like?

Its right under the brake booster on the frame rail. It has a bolt right on top. Its actually a banjo bolt.

Yes they are quite easy to install and find. if you find your air box look further past that it should be right there. It has a bolt, i believe it's 17 mm, if im not mistaken. there is two bolts you need to take off of the filter lines itself, top and bottom. And on the side on the tire well, if you want to take the filter off. One things you should make sure that you do is place some kinda of drip pan, because you will have gas leak out of it. but on e thing you have to look for before you start is the gas shutoff valve. It should be some where located on the head. It's a small screw possibly inside a cap (as mine was) But take the top and bottom and side bolts off and the filter should come off. it's kinda self explanatory putting it back on. Hope this helps!

"but on e thing you have to look for before you start is the gas shutoff valve. It should be some where located on the head. It's a small screw possibly inside a cap (as mine was)"

Where exactly is that located? On the head of the engine or the head of the top fuel line...?

Thanks,

why so complicated? so if i unscrew the bottom thing, fuel will just spill out uncontrollably, possibly draining my fuel tank? or is it just the fuel in the filter?
