Keep your air conditioning system dry and clean with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator (P/N: 83211). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2002-2004 GMC Sierra, 2002-2004 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, 2002-2004 GMC Sierra 3500, 2002-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, and 2002-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
The accumulator / filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system — debris that flushing alone cannot clear, which is why the unit is replaced whenever the system is opened.
Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is required to validate compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is serviced.

Why can't the desiccant just be flushed clean?
