My wifes expedition needs a little bump of freon. It's 134, so i'm not worried about global warming. Thing is, with all of the plastic under the hood, I don't see the "valve stem" to charge it. Where is it???

Simple enough, where is the thingamabob? Certainly someone knows?

For someone with so many posts here, this sure is a stupid question.
After 5000+ posts you would think that you would know that this is a Chevy forum not a furd one.

Just so your not left hanging. I went out and took a picture of where I think mine is.
This is on a 2003 furd. You didn't says what year yours is.

Yes, it is a stupid noob question and that is what I thought, but the damn connector on the freon can does not fit it. I thought that I was crazy and this is not helping.
It is a 1999 expedition, 2wd, 5.4l. I tried using the "quick charge" stuff from AZ over lunch because the AC is not really cool enough. The connector is too small. I guess that I will try thr manifold gauges at the house tonight. You would think that the connector is universal, but maybe not.

furd would have actually have done something right if they made it easy to refill. But no, just like everything else, it has to be difficult.
I'm just giving you a hard time about the noob question. Just wanted to clarify.

Where does the shop manual say that the fitting or port is located?
If you are asking me, I don't have a shop manual.

You might want to see how much freon is actually in there before you jsut start adding. Does it have a leak? If not, why is it low. A system can cool improperly if its overfilled too.
If anyone is ever wondering, the low pressure port i behind a bracket holding a bunch of wires up against the firewall. The pic is of the high pressure port which is, of course, eay to get to.
Yep, I have manifold gauges, I was just being lazy this morning. 30lbs when I started, 45 lbs now. (Low side) and I put UV in it to look for a leak so we will see. The truck's AC has never been serviced, so it is probably just time to top it off.
