You don't want to do that. If you make the compressor run constantly with an orifice tube system you will jack up the high side pressures and blow hoses among other problems. That low-side switch is there for a reason.

Your Yukon is probably low on refrigerant.

With a proper charge you should not see much cycling on that type of system.
