Is it #30 in the fuse block? If that's the number, your fuel bowl heater is shorting out and it's blowing that fuse which is tied to your PCM thus causing your truck to die in its tracks. You need to unplug your heater connection from the rear of the fuel bowl, replace fuse and you should be up and running. You really don't need the heater, honestly. Here's a pic of the connection: http://www.dieselorings.com/docs/FuelBowlRebuild.pdf

It don't blow the fuse every time. It now runs fine in park put it in drive take off and it shuts off. In lets say 5min try to restart the truck and it runs till you try to take off

You need to post up the number of the fuse and we can cross reference it to a manual of your truck model year - BTW - what is your truck model year? Once you know what that fuse is tied to, you can pinpoint where a short is happening.

Hmmm, my 02 has all the fuses under the dash so I can't help you identify it. Here's a bump and maybe someone with a '00 model can help out more.

Which row is it in? All I can see for a 30amp fuse, forth fuse from the front of the vehicle, is the trailer tow battery feed.

Could it be a short in the steering column? I have read where some of the guys on here have had shorted wires under or in the column? If it happens as soon as u put it in gear

You need to download an owner's manual from this site

https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenan...ls/default.asp

Here are the under hood fuse box designations. This way you can tell us just which fuse is blowing or blew.

The yellow highlighting was for my use.

Check Under Dash fuse #30 in particular.

Edit: MY next post will have the rest of the under hood fuses. I screwed up the attachment order.

Here is the rest of the under hood fuse designations. I screwed up on the first post. The last one in that post is UNDER DASH. Don't let me confuse you if I haven't already.

You may have a short in your trailer harness out back... try turning on your lights and see how it runs during the day.
