Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83274
Keep the A/C system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 33511. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details). The accumulator/filter drier stores refrigerant and, using a desiccant bag, removes moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system — debris that flushing cannot clear, which is why replacing this component during service is essential.
A saturated desiccant is common after a system has been opened or left leaking, since the bag can absorb moisture within hours and lose effectiveness. Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is serviced. Backed by Four Seasons' decades of mobile A/C experience.
What does this accumulator do?
It stores refrigerant and uses an internal desiccant bag to remove moisture and contaminants from the A/C system — debris that flushing alone cannot remove.
Does it fit my vehicle?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the application for your vehicle.
Are seals and o-rings included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to make installation easier.
Why should I replace the accumulator when servicing the A/C?
Replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is serviced, especially after the system has been opened or has leaked.
How does a leak affect the desiccant?
A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, making the accumulator/filter drier ineffective at absorbing moisture.
