Sound after turning engine off

I have couple of newby questions. I just bought a 05 f250 last weekend.

I have a pumping sound after I shut the engine down that lasts for about 10 seconds. I have had the truck a week and I am not sure if this is normal or not. I kind of sounds like a small pump. I thought it might be pumping oil to the turbo to assist with spooling it down, but I am not sure. Is this a normal sound. It is pretty hard to figure out where it is coming from.

I have also noticed that if I turn the engine off with the AC on Max the next time I turn it on the air will not blow. I am pretty sure this is not normal, but have no idea where to look. Is there a vacuum actuator or something that is acting up?

The "pumping sound" is normal and it is actually the fuel injectors purging. It is known as the buzz flash.

That makes sense. I just went out and tried to listen and is sounds like the injectors pulsing. Does this dump fuel into the cylinders when doing this?

You might also hear the turbo rotating to a stop.

Not that I'm aware. I believe it's purging the injectors of oil to keep them from gumming up and provide for improved cold starts.
