A/C Accumulator

Assuming you have the stock A/C system your truck will have a drier instead of accumulater. The drier is on the high pressure side and will get hot. Accumulaters are used on later model A/C units and are on the low side and stay cool. John

Thanks John,
Yes i have the stock a/c.I was going through LMC book and they called it a accumulater.The drier has a glass site on top so you can see if you have freon flowing right.
