So Lucky 8 is sold out of them and won't have any in stock for 2-3 weeks. Since mine is chirping I can't afford to wait that long and am not driving it anymore til I get it replaced. I found one on Fleabay for $280 and it's a Proshaft. It says it has 5 grease fittings, dynamically balanced, and also says the constant velocity unit is greasable which I'm assuming is the center hub since they're saying it's right under the cat converters.

This sounds like the next option.

fyi. if you have cdl, you can engage it and remove the bad shaft. you will be cruising 2wd, but you will be cruising.

and can I just have one wheel off the ground to take it out and/or replace? Or does the entire front end need to be up?

Hey. Wait a minute. Your original post says this is an 04. You should have the CDL on the transfer case shifter.
