How Bad Is It...?
...i just installed my first program...and thought i had removed the fuel pump fuse (@ first i DID - and then i mistakenly put it back)
painfully - i realized this just before the program was finished installing.
however - i never started the car...i returned it to the stock program and then started the truck.
seemed fine.
then - i removed the fuse (AGAIN) and re-installed the tuning program - then started the truck.
seems fine.
so i know im an idiot...but is my truck gonna be ok?

Yes, your truck will be fine.
Removal of the fuse is to keep the fuel pump from over-heating if the fuel level is low and also to prevent low voltage when installing the program if your battery is marginal. So long as the program is installed without failing in the middle of installation it'll be fine.

Page 12 section 11 in the owners manual for your 03, Humm it says ford requires the fuel pump fuse to be removed, and if not removed it could cause severe damage, straight outa the superchip manual, So it could cause damage if like the above post states low voltage, sounds like more of a cya from the superchip than anything, ...I always pull my fuse, ive got it marked with a highliter...glad to here it should,nt mess anything up just in case i forget...errr
