only thing i can think of is there is a bare wire somewhere that is arching and causing it to blow.

i think i got it

i had two o2 sensors that were bad, i replaced them and then put a new 20 amp fuse in the fuse box. so far so good the fuse hasn't blown, my check engine light hasn't come back on and the truck hasn't died. we will see how it goes. i think the o2 sensors being bad were causing it to blow.
