You should at least pick up a ProCal so you can recalibrate your speedometer.

To the OP, please do keep us posted. I hate to hear about your situation. I do hope it works out for the best.

well that sucks, it was just a thought. hope it all gets figured out.I must have missed the 500 miles part somewhere.

btw, do hear any noises on acceleration or deceleration, like whining noise?

You took the brakes off and everything felt good? When you re-installed the driveshaft were the brakes still off? Your brakes might be dragging. Are your brake rotors discolored (bluish or some dark spots on it)? Are the pads glazed?
