What does this receiver drier / desiccant element do?
It acts as a filter, using desiccant to absorb moisture and capturing contaminants from the A/C system that flushing cannot remove.
Does it come with the parts needed to install it?
Yes. This kit includes the necessary gaskets, o-rings, and seal, plus a plug, to make installation easier.
When should the drier be replaced?
Replace it any time the A/C system is opened or serviced. Replacement is also required to validate the compressor warranty.
Which vehicles does the 83059 fit?
It fits the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
Why can't the system just be flushed instead?
Moisture and certain contaminants held by the desiccant cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the drier is essential to keep the A/C system clean and dry.
