front drive shaft

ok, some people are saying I can get it for 200, but a local dodge dealer here says that its gonna be 359 for the driveline. whats up with that? why would the cost be so different, maybe they were mistaken on the part? anyone have the right part number for the front driveshaft?

edit---

I guess I should add, the reason I am calling a local dealer is because I need to head to MN tomorrow, and am taking the truck. I would assume its not to bright to have a completely blown up ujioint in the front drive shaft? or seeing as I am not in 4WD, should I be ok?

Just remove it for your trip. The drive shaft turns all the time even in 2WD.

I agree. If your not going to use 4wd, remove it. I took mine off in april, to get u-joints replaced and when I got it back I decided to leave it off until winter. I just marked the relation at the diff and t-case so I put it back the same.
