What does this receiver drier do?
It acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system using a desiccant bag. These contaminants can't be removed by flushing, so the drier must be replaced during service.
What comes in the kit?
The 83187 is a filter drier desiccant bag kit that ships with a plug, plus the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal for installation.
Which vehicles does the 83187 fit?
It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2011-2013 Ford Explorer, 2013-2017 Ford Flex, 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan and Taurus, 2015-2016 Lincoln MKS, and 2013-2014 Lincoln MKT. See the Buyer's Guide tab.
When should I replace the receiver drier?
It should be replaced anytime the A/C system is opened for service, and replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within a few hours.
Why can't I just flush the system instead?
Flushing cannot remove the moisture and contaminants the drier captures. If a saturated or contaminated drier is your issue, installing this unit replaces that component during service.
