93 ZJ AC - drier receiver
Where is the drier receiver located - and - it is hard to replace?
Apparently it's leaking. My shop manual doesn't seem to call it out. Thanks... -curtis |
Re: 93 ZJ AC - drier receiver
The accumulator is located in the engine compartment on the right
(passenger) side. It is a round, tall, black tank mounted about half way between the battery and the firewall. ---- On 15 May 2006 12:55:17 -0700, "Curtis" <cchandler63@gmail.com> wrote: >Where is the drier receiver located - and - it is hard to replace? >Apparently it's leaking.

Re: 93 ZJ AC - drier receiver
Replacement of AC components involves evacuation of the system, followed by
recharging with refrigerant. The recommended way to do this is with a charging station. The shadetree method doesn't require a charging station, but it does at least require a vacuum pump. Actual replacement of the drier receiver, well that is the easy part.

Re: 93 ZJ AC - drier receiver
OK I was wondering if what the manual called the accumulator was the
same thing. Apparently my system is completely empty so I was thinking I could swap out the part, then take it in for a charge... thanks... |

> Hey thanks - I've been checking out your sway bar bushing improvements > as well.... I'm amazed how much that helped. Problem is they don't last for ever. If you have the V8 you have a larger front bar. Make sure you get the correct part number. Next time around I'm going to get some greasable ones (or drill the ones I have for zerks) They squeek too damn much in the winter. :) -- DougW |

Re: 93 ZJ AC - drier receiver
While the system is discharged is a good time to replace all the O-rings. I
have had people call this silly, because it adds to the labor charge, but it can add years to the time that the system stays charged. Once you replace the O-rings and the accumulator, about the only thing that is likely to go wrong, leak-wise, are the compressor seals. It would be a shame to take the vehicle in for service at the start of next year's AC season, over an O-ring gone bad.

Re: 93 ZJ AC - drier receiver
It was the O-rings (seals) in the compressor head that was the biggest
problem with leaks in our '93 ZJ (after the evaporator was replaced.) Once that was done correctly, we haven't had a problem since. ---- On Mon, 15 May 2006 16:48:28 -0600, "Earle Horton" <Nurse-NOSPAM-Busters@msn.com> wrote: >While the system is discharged is a good time to replace all the O-rings.
