I will assume that "cold engine" means the physical temperature is below freezing
replacing cable as temp fix says somehow water or something that freezes is getting inside cable... I've never heard of this before.
if above freezing then you may have warped metal whose different temps react as a mechanical thermostat does.
perhaps the engine has a thermostat that needs replacement?
With the truck not running, but the key on move the shift lever through the sequence - f the fuse blows you have a wire getting pinched by the shift mechanism. Trace the linkage and look for a scraped wire or squashed wire.
If it only happens when the engine is running a wire is rubbing on the engine or trans and look for the same - a scraped wire or squashed wire.

The short circuit caused by the squashing may have affected more than just the back. You have a ground that was not connected properly and caused smoke.
you may have to disassemble your clock and gauges because the smoke means the wires have lost their resistance and thus not enough current is running through them.
have someone qualified do it so that you can get the work warranted.
