Default R134a port

Does anyone know where the low side port is for our trucks? I've got a can of r134a I need to add today. Thanks.

I found this

"the dryer assembly is the aluminum tank to the right of the diagram, the low side port is on the line attached to the dryer, #5 in the diagram is the nut that retains the line to the dryer"

Thanks for the pic. So it looks like I need to undo some type of tube?

I don't think so. As long as there is enough room to reach in there and fill it you should be able to leave it as is

I thought it was the cap between 4 and 1, just screw off the cap.

Are these parts easily viewable under the hood?

Just did this today. There is two caps. One is near the front of the engine bay, the other is near the back of the engine bay. Its going to be the one nearest the rear of the engine bay. Cant really go wrong since the hose you use to refill it wont fit any other port. Basically you shouldnt have to force the hose to "snap" onto the port. Hope this helps.

Is it near the top/bottom and near the passenger/driver side? Thanks for your help.

X2 it only fits the correct port, its idiot proof, make sure you read the can directions though!
