Not all accumulator replacements are the same. Some Ford accumulators are designed with a protective cover around the accumulator. This protective cover is often ignored by aftermarket air conditioning suppliers. To save customers time and money, gpd has included the protective cover around the accumulator for the applications listed above.
The protective cover is designed to keep the accumulator cool in a hot engine bay. It also functions as a mount for proper placement. Original protective covers usually come with clips, so the cover can be removed if replacing the accumulator inside. In some cases, the protective cover may be time consuming to remove. The protective cover may have a plastic weld. In order to remove the entire protective cover, this plastic weld will need to be broken. This may cause the housing to crack. Extra attention is required to ensure a seal on the protective cover after replacement. It is also possible that the plastic mount could break under harsh conditions. The plastic covering, by itself, would need to be purchased directly from a dealer. Save time and money with gpd’s direct replacement accumulator #1411864.
