How difficult is a transfer case to change?

Dodge Dakota 2007 V8 4.7 litres.

Needs a transfer case change.

Just took it to the garage they unplugged the AC pressure switch. Thinking it could be that as an experiment. Said if it doesn’t work while driving it for a while then it’s the transfer case. After driving it home from the garage it tried to engage when going slow. So now I need to change the transfer case.

How difficult is this of a job to do? Can I do it myself? Pretty handy and have a worked a bit on cars already.

Cheers

Cannot get the heater block out

Drained everything. This one has a flat head screw driver. Does the screw come the while way out? I have been turning for ages and seems like it is maxed out. Does not come out. Is the but itself just so rusted on that I can’t get it out or do I have to turn more to get the screw out?

Can I put wd40 on the outside for it to come out?

Any advice to get this out would be very much appreciated.

Cheers in advance 👍

The photos was before I started trying to take it off

Coolant is low due to heater block leak. Need to top up to get to work but don’t want to mix

Dodge Dakota v8, 4.7 litre. Pink colour coolant in there (existing). Very low. Needs to be topped up before driving. Can i top it up with this universal global antifreeze from co-op
Gas station? Or no?

Heater block leaking. Transmission sensor light in dash.

Did post before. Know it’s a block heater leak. But my transmission sensor light keeps turning on on the dash also. Is this why?

Believe a coolant sensor leak

This area of my truck keeps leaking when I stop. It’s watery transmission oil by look and feel. How do I fix it? As it is watery transmission oil is there a bigger problem here?

Thanks in advance🤙

Leaking transmission oil when parked.

My 2007 V8 Dodge Dakota 219,000 on the clock is leaking transmission oil when it parked. It’s only a little oil. I have been monitoring this week while driving only a short distance to work. Roughly around 5ml per time. Ichanged the transmisión filtres recently so the oil is fresh and still looks a good colour. What could the reason of this be though? Coolant lines running into the radiator burst or cracked?

The leak seems to be coming from a directly above the cross member on the passenger side. A line running into the underside of the engine compartment? What could that be? I am pretty confused honestly. Pretty novice mechanic.

What shall I look at? What areas to investigate first?

WHILE DRIVING THE TRANSMSION HEAT SENSOR DOES COME ON SOME TIMES). I always pull over and then check and the level is good. In the hot markers. But this is for a short drive. Roughly 15/20 mins each way. Is this enough time for the transmission oil to become fully hot?

Thanks ya’ll! Have a good one 🤙🍻

Next step for my guitar playing

Been playing for like 7 years on and off. Know all 5 pentatonic boxes and are pretty comfortable playing them and soloing with them. Of course still have lots and lots to learn to master them.

However, Where would be a great next step to improve my guitar playing?

Do I learn all major scale boxes and focus on getting major down and then learning to combine both major and minor. Or is there another avenue I should take.

Any tips or tricks would be very helpful. Can be theoretical or practical.

P.s. Playing an Stratocaster professional 2 through a fender blues junior. Mostly play blues honestly (Stevie ray, Hendrix, etc) (the classic). Really love Latin music also though.

Thanks legend🫡🤙
