I got it all done.

It was kinda fun... but messy.. and time consuming.

I'll pay someone else to do it.

Quoted:
regular f-150 2001:

a) The plug to drain the oil is next to the oil filter, no?

b) You just use an hex or allen wrench, no?

c) You rotate counter clockwise, no?

d) Should you need a lot of tourqe?

Can't change oil... feel emasculated.

I don't have a f-150 but that doesn't sound right to me. Which engine is it?

The plug should be on the bottom of the oil pan. It will be a 14mm bolt - not a hex bolt

NO, Dont over torque, if you strip it, your screwed, jus hand tight and then a lil SNUG

$19.99 at most quicky lube places, saves the mess and fuss and actually saves you time and money.
