Does everything else still work? I am thinking there may be more than one thing on that circuit. Or if there isn't maybe someone spliced into it behind the dash for some accessories.

Can you get behind the lighter and unplug the wire feeding it? Then you could try another fuse to see if it's the socket.

Is the fuse popping even if nothing is plugged in?

I thought the cigarette lighter was hot all the time?

I just looked at a 1999 diagram, and the cigarette lighter is hot all the time, and it does have it's own fuse. If your truck is the same, then the fuse should blow the instant you install it, not when you turn the key.
