Anybody got a new one or know where to get one?

Could I plumb in any Reciever-Drier?

Thanks

You can get a dryer from Classic Auto Air in Florida. They repacked mine but cutting it, putting in new dessicant and then welding the tube back together, then painting it. It is done right, but I dont care for the weld line in the middle of the tube. Will probably grind it down and smooth it out to look right. www.classicautoair.com

I'll bet that won't be cheap. What did it cost you and when did you get that done?

When anAC system is openned, is ti necessary to replace the drier? This is something I have wondered about for years, yet never found a credible answer, based on practical use, facts.

I would assume that an old system, something found at a junkyard for example, which has been open to the atmosphere for 'who knows how long' would be a prime candidate for replacement. What about a system that is cracked open for a motor replacement or repair? Is there a reasonable limit to how long the hoses can be left diconnect before it becomes necessary to purge/drain the system and install a fresh charge/oil and replace compressor, dryer at the same time?

Reason I'm asking...I need to replace compressor (or possibly get away with just changing the clutch). I've been wavering for a few month, now that the cold weather has hit, I find that the heater defroster is not working too. Looks like I might as well combine both - and I'm going to go broke if I have to change everything!
