RE: [Chrysler300] AC drier

["David Schwandt" <finsruskw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got a new one from Thermo King, the truck refrigeration folks.
It fit the flared fittings on the F and works just fine.
It is shorter that the original though and will require some thought for
installation.

1st I've ever heard of "cooking" a used one.
It does the trick and still works as intended???

You might be able to handle this one yourself, Fred, if your old one is in
decent shape.  You can take your toaster oven out to your garage (or even
outdoors), and cook your old receiver/dryer at 400 degrees or so (with the
fittings open) for a couple of hours.  It will stink like crazy but it will
bake out the collected contaminants and moisture, "rejuvenating" the unit to
work as new.  If you sandblast it first, you can even paint it with high
temp black and use the baking process to super cure the finish.  Be sure to
cap the fittings after baking until you reinstall it to keep it dry inside.
