Fuel Reset Switch
I pushed this last night after my truck died thinkin it would help, haha. i've drove it 4 miles since then and now it won't even run for 3 seconds w/ out blowin my PCM fuse and the fuel reset button is still in the down position....isn't it supposed to "POP" back out ?

My understanding of the fuel reset switch is that if you are in a collision over X miles per hour and you hit, it resets to stop fuel from being pumped after an accident, it is not a fuse, you may have a power problem that is blowing the fuse, but that would not have anything to do with the fuel reset switch.

I figured that but the switch was in the up position, I pushed it down.....I think it should come back up....it hasn't yet.
My truck is a 99 F-250 V-10. I keep blowing the 30amp fuse under the dash in the fuse panel. I leave the cover off and watch it blow. I can start the truck if I turn the key quick but it'll blow the fuse and die 2 seconds after it passes the key on position. If I just turn it to key on w/ out starting it it blows it 2 seconds later.

What fuse number is it?
I have an '01 service manual on CD with the EVTM, so I can check where the wiring goes from that fuse #. It should be basically the same as your '99.
