Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:33570
Keep your A/C blowing cold and protect the compressor with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator 33183. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for a long list of GM trucks and SUVs, including the 1984-1987 Buick Regal, 1987-1991 Chevrolet Blazer, 1987-1991 Chevrolet Suburban and 1985-1991 GMC Jimmy — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full 65-application list and engine details.
The accumulator/filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system — debris that cannot be cleared by flushing, which is why replacing this unit is essential whenever the system is opened. Moisture absorption is handled by an internal desiccant bag; a leaking or open system can saturate that bag within a few hours and render the unit ineffective.
Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is required to validate the compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is serviced.
