If it is an AC equipped truck it is by design that it stays on all the time

As zieg85 posted, the A/C ventilation system is designed to blow on low speed whenever the ignition is switched on and the heater/AC are switched off.  This dries the plenum to help reduce mildew formation while decreasing dust accumulation and maintaining fresh cabin air.

AHHH HAAA!  Thanks for the answer. I had heard that they just crap out and stay on after awhile.
