Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier P/N:83183
Keep your air conditioning clean and dry with the Four Seasons A/C Receiver Drier 83118, an aluminum filter drier with a pad mount. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 2008 Dodge Challenger, 2006-2010 Dodge Charger, 2005-2008 Dodge Magnum, and 2005-2011 Chrysler 300 — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
The receiver drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system that flushing alone cannot clear, which is why it should be replaced whenever the system is serviced. Moisture is captured by an internal desiccant; a leaking or open system can saturate the desiccant within a few hours and render the drier ineffective.
Backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience and produced in an ISO/TS16949 and ISO14001 certified facility. Replacing the accumulator/filter drier is typically required to validate compressor warranty and should be done any time the system is opened for service.

When should the receiver drier be replaced?
