Default 01 dodge ram 5.9

Why would my air conditioner compressor be running while the heat is on? Is this normal?

If it runs constantly, there's a problem. If it's just cycling on and off, it's normal.

On any setting that blows air at the windshield, the a/c compressor will run.

Do a google search on 'heatertreater'. I suspect that is your poor heat issue.
