i bet you are confused with the muffler on the discharge side of the compressor.it will get hot
the accumulator on these trucks is an aluminum cylinder connected to the evaporator and has a pressure switch for clutch cycling.it should be cold and sweaty.

yes your heater may be on and fighting the ac.esp if there is lots of condensate coming from the front.
another way to prove this is eithe start wih a cold engine and see if the front is cold till the engine warms up or pinch the heater hose and see if it cools down.thre is flow all the time on these trucks so a blend door problem can do this.
