Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier P/N:83114
Help keep moisture and contaminants out of your air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier, part number 33270. This steel filter drier removes moisture and contaminants from the A/C system, using a desiccant bag to absorb moisture. It fits many Chevrolet and GMC truck models, among them the 1980-1987 GMC C5000, 1990-1991 Chevrolet C5500 Kodiak and 1990-1991 Chevrolet C60 Kodiak. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications; see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
Why replacement matters: Flushing cannot remove the contaminants the drier filters out of the system, so replacing the drier is essential. If the system leaks or is left open, the desiccant bag can become saturated within a few hours, making the drier ineffective. Four Seasons states that the drier must be replaced any time the system is serviced, and that replacement is required to validate the compressor warranty.
Signs this part may need replacing: The A/C system has been opened, has leaked or is being serviced, or a compressor is being replaced. Weak cooling or moisture in the system can have several causes, so diagnose the system before replacing parts.

When should the receiver drier be replaced?
Four Seasons states it must be replaced any time the A/C system is serviced. Replacement is also required to validate the compressor warranty.
