1. Welcome
2. Stop yelling (all caps) it comes off as confrontational.
3. Use some punctuation as it make your post more coherent and easier to read.
4. Details. What fuse is it that is blowing because not all of us know what the 30 amp fuse under the dash is for the 7.3? There should be a list in the owners manual or a number on the fuse box cover that someone can ID. Take a multimeter and check the resistance between the wiring you're removing and the truck as it sounds like you have a short directly to ground.

It sounds like the fuel heater element has shorted out. The reason the truck won't start is that this fuse also controls power to the Powertrain Control Module. There is no spark because of this.
You should be able to run the truck with the fuel heater unplugged and the fuse replaced.
