Help clear moisture and contaminants from your air conditioning system with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, part number 33188. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1982 Ford F150 and 1982 Ford F250, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Four Seasons draws on more than 50 years of mobile A/C experience and engineers and tests its accumulators to provide years of trouble-free operation. This unit is built in an ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001 certified facility using state-of-the-art equipment and quality materials.
- Moisture and contaminant filtering: The accumulator works as a filter for the A/C system. It removes moisture and contaminants that flushing alone cannot clear.
- Desiccant bag: A high-quality desiccant absorbs moisture circulating in the system.
- Welded construction: Quality welds give the unit a durable, leak-free design.
- Installation hardware included: The necessary gaskets, O-rings and seal come in the box.
Why replacement matters: A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant bag within a few hours, and a saturated accumulator can no longer absorb moisture. Four Seasons states that the accumulator must be replaced whenever the A/C system is serviced. Replacing it is also required to validate the compressor warranty.
Signs it may need replacing: weak cooling performance, refrigerant oil residue or corrosion on the housing, or an A/C system that has been opened or has leaked. Diagnose the cause of any cooling problem before replacing parts.
