Engine Idle with AC on

I have noticed since the day I bought the truck that when I stop at a redlight once the trucks engine is at operating temp and my AC is on the truck idles fine then it seems to drag down a little bit causing the engine to sound like its under a load. The idle gauge does not seem to move but I can feel and hear the engine sound like its under load for about 5 seconds then goes away. It then comes back 30-40 seconds later. If the trucks AC is turned off it does not do it at all so I am just thinking its the AC compressor pulling the load. Does all trucks do this? Its a 6.7. I was going to ask about it at oil change time but wanted to see if anyone else experienced here?

Yes this is the ac compressor coming on and off. It is on a electro magnetic clutch on a pullie. When you idle they don’t stay on consistently.
