I have changed the head gasket, 1 fuel injector, plugs and wires, rotor, & timing belt., and the 40amp. fuse under the hood blows out when I start the truck.

I agree with the other person who answered you. Somewhere, and vehicle electrical is a real b****, somewhere there is a short. I'd start with double checking any/all wiring that you stated you'd worked on already. Then, from there I'd go to starter/battery wiring/connections. Just , be patient, and keep checking wiring connections one by one. Take it one connection at a time, and be patient. As I stated, veh. elect. is a real pain. As long as you only tackle one connection route at a time, you won't get too overwhelmed, thus, frustrated. Good luck! And, as a last resort, consult a reputable mechanic that deals with vehicle electrics specifically.

There is a short in the ignition wiring circuit. It would help to know the model and engine size. Check all the wiring in that circuit and also the components. It's very possible that you have pinched a wire between something while putting it back together.

Check the starter, solanoid, and for loose wires in that circuit. If you check the 40amp. is for the starter circuit. Start there, if it's the same after get it, with everything you've done into a good shop.

You should go online to www.pbs.org and ask Click & Clack, the Tappert Brothers. They are on a show called "Car Talk". You can find that in the shows listings. It will tell you how to get to their website and you can email them or wait til their show comes on and call in.

Disconnect your alternator and try again.
It may be bad, or wired up wrong.
