You guys were right about the oil filter! I started with a oil filter socket, then went to oilfilter strap. No go! :o I began to crash the filter and started to panic. First oil change and it's turning into a nightmare. All I can think is my wife is going to kill me when I tell her I have to get the new truck towed because I f'ed it up.
I calmed down and went to the neighbors and borrowed some gaint channel locks. Bingo it did the job.
When I finally got it to turn I noticed that it would return to original position! Ford is installing these filters at the factory without putting oil on the rubber gasket.

This should be a lesson to everyone to try to remove the factory filter on a vehicle. I did it once on a Mazda Millennia...and never again!
What is that thing and where do I get one?

Costs about $10 and worth every penny.
After the first one, the rest should come off by hand.
