It is going to be in the 60s this weekend - so I'll be putting my mechanic hat on.  

First thing is the power steering pressure hoses.  Then oil changes for the
Durango and Monte Carlo.  

I am looking into the TCC Solenoid repair to see how difficult it will be.
Trying to find info on the 2001 Durango transmission (4.7L V-8).  

So far, it appears it would involve a pan drop + value body removal. 
Trying to find the exact process and how difficult it would be before
diving in.  Plus, I will need to order the proper part(s).
