So, the passenger heating core seems to get very hot, all the time. Is there supposed to be some kind of cut-off to cut the flow to it in hot weather? Seems to be kinda nuts to run it that hot when it isn't being used at all.

I`m no expert on this but my truck would do the same thing, but on both sides. I just turn the temperature setting down to like 68 degrees on both sides and then shut it off. It helped mine.

Ajh,
What year is your truck?
Some people by-pass the system during the summer by removing the heat hoses and joining them together.

It's an 03, I'm wondering if there's a solenoid in there or something that's not working right. I did finally manage to find my electrical fault yesterday and repair it. I'm not convinced it was me who introduced it either, it was a cut inside the heavy plastic covering on the passenger side in the back and fairly close to where they worked when installing the car starter. Now I just need to re-wire some of the accessories and the started but an aux fuse panel and relay go in first so I can independently fuse the various systems.

There is no solenoid causing your problem, the blender door/motor is not work, which is common , and that is what is causing your a/c issue.
