Well finally got the receiver/dryer in, the picture shows that steel is a bad idea, did a complete service and now it's nice and frosty and holds freeon, definitely go aluminum, especially if your on the east coast

Aluminum and salt don't play well together either. I replaced mine with aluminum unit from NAPA. I did not replace the foam cover. Mine is a summer ride now anyway.

Maybe paint the aluminum with POR 15 and a good enamel top coat or have it powder coated.

Ok accumulator replaced still leaking freeon, I added die and this was the result, die on the firewall where the a/c is going through the firewall, any suggestions?

If you're seeing dye on the firewall, then either the evaporator is leaking, or there's an issue with the connections to it. Try new o-rings first.

Most common is the receiver dryer. It's location and the fact that is insulated causes rust. Check the bottom of it.

Replace it with an aluminum one. Also replace all the seals and the orifice tube.

Did you replace seals as suggested when accumulator was done ? Lot of good info on this site from knowledgeable people.
