Is the resistor buried on a 01 like it was on my 99?
I never had trouble with that on that truck thank God as it's way high up in the dash where the dash has to come out to get at it. I discovered it when I did the heater core.
I also have an O1 Durango and like you I have had multiple blower resistor and pigtail failures on. I keep a couple of extras on hand for this vehicle as a result. Sometimes 2 a year, sometimes one every other year. We've had ours for 9 years and it was obvious that when it failed on me The 1st time it wasn't the 1st time it had failed on this vehicle in it's life.
I'm about to go over 300k miles, and this has been the one thorn in this vehicle's side. I did replace the original engine and rebuilt the transmission just shy of 260k because of a couple of stuck wide open injectors washed out 2 cylinders, mine has the 360 ("5.9") but the blower resistor issue is the one thing that continues to piss me off about it. This thing has otherwise been great to us.
About 3 resistors and 2 pigtails ago I did replace the blower motor because I thought maybe it was tired, drawing more juice than it was supposed to be. That didn't change the tendency for this issue one bit.
And I've heard others with these same vehicles that have the same issue.
