Keep your A/C system clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator Tube 34209, a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of 1973-1980 GM full-size trucks and SUVs — including the 1973-1980 Chevrolet C10 Suburban, 1975-1980 Chevrolet C10, 1973-1974 Chevrolet Blazer, 1975-1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, 1973-1980 GMC C1500, 1973-1980 GMC Jimmy, and many more (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of applications and engines).
The accumulator / filter drier works on the low-pressure side of the A/C system to trap moisture and contaminants that flushing cannot remove, which is why it should be replaced whenever the system is opened or serviced.
Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is typically required to validate compressor warranty, and a saturated or open unit can quickly become ineffective. If a saturated or contaminated accumulator is the issue on your GM truck, this drops in as the replacement.
What does an A/C accumulator / filter drier do?
It sits on the low-pressure side of the A/C system, where a desiccant absorbs moisture and it filters out contaminants that flushing cannot remove from the refrigerant.
Are gaskets and seals included?
Yes. According to Four Seasons, the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included for installation.
Does this fit my vehicle?
It's listed for many 1973-1980 GM trucks and SUVs, such as the Chevrolet C10, K5 Blazer, C10 Suburban and GMC C1500 and Jimmy. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year, make and model.
When should the accumulator be replaced?
Four Seasons advises replacing it any time the system is opened or serviced; replacement is also typically required to validate the compressor warranty.
Why can't the old accumulator just be flushed?
The contaminants and saturated desiccant trapped inside cannot be removed by flushing, so the accumulator / filter drier must be replaced to restore proper moisture and debris control.
