You don't add freon to vehicles. You add R134a refrigerant.
On the other hand, you have a 1991 model, equipped from the factory with R12. If it has not been retrofitted yet, you will need to do so first. It is illegal in most states to expel refrigerant into the air, so you will need to bring your vehicle to a service shop and have them properly evacuate the system before retrofitting it to use R134a. Only then can it be refilled. It may be costly at first, but once done you can buy a recharge kit from most stores and fill it yourself.
If you've already been retrofitted to R134a, attach the recharge kit to the valve under the blue cap on the lower front of the vehicle, between the engine and radiator.
where do I add freon to my air conditioning unit on a 1997 chevy truck?
to the low side
no
You can add Freon to your 1999 Chevy cooling system through the low pressure port. Connect your Freon bottle to the low pressure port and release the Freon into the system.
Freon is a very touchy thing to work with. The EPA bans its release into the atmosphere, so only experts and professionals know how to add and subtract Freon from the car safely. Take your car to a mechanic or a Chevy dealer for this.
The schrader valve on the low pressure side of the system.
This is what I did for my Chevy prism 2000, it works fine: http://www.id-usa.com/how_to_recharging.asp
It doesn't have one. If you wanna add more coolant you will have to do it with from your reservoir.
you dont only a certified repair shop can handle R12
The 2000 Chevrolet Silverado truck has two ports on top of the air conditioner compressor. You will add Freon through the low pressure port.
Buy a kit at Wal-mART OR AUTO PARTS COMES WITH INSTRUCTIONS
Either on the low side of the a/c compressor or straight to the accumulator next to the firewall.........
