Good writeup and good pics! A couple other comments that might be helpful to some who isn't used to doing their own oil changes but is contemplating doing so....
You don't really
have to have ramps or use a lifting device -- you can just crawl under the truck and do the work since it's pretty high off the ground. That's what I did, but of course it'd easier with ramps -- I was just too lazy to get them or the floor jack out.
When tightening the filter, be sure that you (other readers) don't mis-interpret the words "hand tight." That means pretty tight -- about 3/4 turn after the gasket contacts the base. It does NOT mean "finger tight" or just barely tight.
