Hello
When looking up your vehicle there was a technical service bulleting on this. I have attached it for your review.
Since there were problems with this, to me the best course of action is to go to the parts department or call them at the dealer and request the part numbers that way. This way you will ensure you have the correct part numbers based off of this TSB.
I see where the receiver dryer is one long assembly. Wow. . ..but again, you want to make sure your numbers are according to the TSB. The only part number I have for a Receive Dryer F3DZ19C836GA. But again, you need to consider that TSB.
I do this many times. Get the part number I need from the dealer then go from there.
