dude i have a front driveshaft for a 4dr i got a new one and they are not going to be able to fix the boot. they are going to tell you you need a new DS you can have mine if you want it's cake to change. or you can always upgrade. mine is just sitting on my shelf in my garage incase someone needs it. cause i sure don't. i did the yolk conversion so it's yours if you want we can add that to out list of things to do
F the dealer tell them you got a new one or something cause i will tell you what they are going to do they are going to say they took it off and they are going to have to order a new one and they don't have it. and need to order one and your going to be screwed.

Again we're talking about the main drive shaft here.

off i have the front DS it's in perfect shape i did not get a new rear one yet but if the boot is busted they will tell you you need a new one and it's not covered. i know there are plenty of people on here that have went to get it fixed ad the dealer said they can't that they need a new DS

hummmm... if its huntington jeep I would say maybe just tell them the deal... that hey, if your going to give me some line about a new DS then just do no work and tell me now... Huntington has been REALLY straight foward and REALLY accomodating for me so far... Its actually the only time in my life a dealership has been really helpful, classy, and not tried to fuck me over a thousand times... and I have had everything from toyota's which are supposed to be great with coverage to my last car a benz which was supposed to be customer satisfaction dedicated... I would never buy another toyota or benz again... and I love benz cars I just think they are such scumbag dealers that I cant bring myself to do it again...
Huntington Jeep might be worth a shot if you tell them... if you cant just fix the boot clamp, then dont bother touching it.... and I will come back another day...
From the 4-5 times I have dealt with them since I got my truck, they have been totally cool... again I think they would be foward about it like.. oh yea you are going to need this done, bring he back when you can... (and cover it) rather then not tell you and then try to stick ya in the end.... (rear end)...

Interesting that dealers have been this way.....but i suppose it totally doesn't surprise me. I've yet had to bring in my Jeep for service, but Merrick Dodge/Jeep of Wantagh had been very good with my SRT when i brought it to them for warranty service (and the car was no longer stock).

not looking good weather wise for the weekend. i might rig up a tarp to the outside of the garage friday night this way we have some room outside of the garage to stand and stuff. there is a 40% chance of thunderstorms sat so i guess we will see once it gets closer. the weather man as i have stated in the past is a retard as for all weather men and women. they are all just dumb. 
im coming back as an over paid weather person in my next life. look out the windows report to people on tv what i see and get paid 6 figures sorry i tend to rant about weather men hahaha they just piss me off. see yall saturday. my axel gussets are going to be here tomorrow but there is no way im welding them on got to watch the caps and the pens game 7 its going to be a good one.

what do the gaussets do?? (dumb question?) hahah
as for weather... they said it was going rain yesterday with a chance of thunderstorms 30% on weather .com
umm I played softball after work and got a tan.... I saw one drop of rain hit the windshield on the way home but it was more like bird pee or something... I left the top down over night just to mock the weather perdictions and wam this morning its sunny as hell and clear blue skies...
Weather people do have easy jobs...
I am going to talk to mother nature and see if I can get her to hold off the wrath till saturday night... that way sunday I can go hunting for big puddles... hahahaha
