Two little things to add to the above listing.
1. Disconnect the battery before you pull thehead light switch so you don't come back to a "dead" truck later.
2. DO NOT cross thread the oil line when you re-install. Those are mighty fine threads and it is easy to do just that. Run the line on by hand making sure the threads "feel" right before you tighten.

Just my .02 cents worth from experience in the past.
