Hi, I have 2016 GMC Yukon XL with ~43k miles which the infamous AC condenser crack hasn't happened 'yet.'
This car is our 'family trip' car so it sits in our garage most of the time.
We barely drive it 1~3 times a month and mileages are mostly/if not all highway mileages; also relatively low miles for its age. (We use Toyota minivan for daily driver)
But knowing how often this AC condenser crack happens, I was hoping if there is any way to 'prevent' it from cracking.
From what I have read, the AC condenser cracks from vibration; would fortifying those weak area with JB weld patching help?
I was thinking either Regular JB Weld (can stand ~4k psi/500 F) or SteelStik putty (900 psi/350 F)
Has anyone have done it? Will doing it hurt anything?
