   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).
