Four Seasons A/C Accumulator P/N:83225
Keep your air conditioning system dry and protected with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator, MPN 83368. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500, C5500, C6500 and C7500 Kodiak and C8500, plus the 2003-2009 GMC C4500, C5500, C6500 and C7500 Topkick and C8500 Topkick — see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full application and engine list. The accumulator/filter drier sits on the low side of the A/C system, where it stores refrigerant and separates liquid from vapor while its internal desiccant traps moisture and contaminants that flushing cannot remove.
Because a saturated desiccant bag can no longer absorb moisture, the accumulator/filter drier should be replaced any time the system is opened or serviced — replacement is also required to validate many compressor warranties.

What does this A/C accumulator do?
It sits on the low side of the A/C system, separates liquid refrigerant from vapor, and uses a desiccant to remove moisture and contaminants that flushing cannot clear.
Does it fit my truck?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500-C8500 Kodiak and GMC C4500-C8500 Topkick. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your exact vehicle and engine.
Are gaskets and o-rings included?
Yes. The necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included to make installation easier.
When should the accumulator/filter drier be replaced?
Replace it any time the A/C system is opened or serviced. A leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within hours, and replacement is often required to validate compressor warranties.
Why can't contaminants just be flushed out?
Moisture and certain contaminants cannot be removed by flushing, so replacing the accumulator/filter drier is essential to keep them out of the system.
