I need to charge the AC on my 2002 XLT. Not sure exactly where the low side is on the System. Anyone have a diagram? Thanks

When standing facing the truck on the left side there is a Canister with a black valve on top. Is this the low side AC value? Is this where I charge the AC?

Yes, it's referred to as an accumulator. The HP is on the line leaving the compressor.
The LP and HP fittings are different sizes so that the charger will only attach to the correct fitting.
