Cylinder 1 on a Dodge Ram 1500 with a V8 engine, such as the 5.7L HEMI, is located on the driver's side (left side) of the engine, at the front.
In a typical V8 engine configuration like the one in the Ram 1500:
- Driver's Side (Left Bank): The cylinders are numbered 1, 3, 5, and 7 from front to back.
- Passenger Side (Right Bank): The cylinders are numbered 2, 4, 6, and 8 from front to back.
So, cylinder 1 is the first cylinder on the driver's side, closest to the front of the vehicle.
This configuration is standard across most V8 engines, but for precise information and any variations based on specific trims or engine options, it’s a good idea to consult the vehicle’s repair manual. The manual will provide exact diagrams and details specific to your model.
