Default A/C pump running
Question, my A/C pump runs, kicks on and off even when I'm not running A/C in the cab. Is this normal, the condenser gets cold as well as the lines under the hood.

I never noticed it until after I fixed the Plenum, lol glad to hear its normal however, just seems odd for it to run when the heat is on.

The A/C runs when in defrost mode to put mositure into the air to help the windows from fogging up. So as everyone else has said yes it is perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
