You can run with out a front driveshaft forever if you want to, no problem
Now as far as something getting hot and turning blue ???
What part are you talking about ?
More information would be nice.

well the part that became blueish is the metal sheet that hold the cv crappy booth ave probly the cv joint itself... but not sure .. it was smoking a lot when i stoppped on the highway... just jumped in the jeep and got away from threre ( ppl roll fast there) when i stopped again .. there was no more smoke but mainly think bout grease and bit or rubber on exhaust .... thx for the info tom

I can't understand much of what you've written, sorry. If it's the transfercase side CV joint you need you may be able to get one through Dorman. My local parts place was able to get one the next day for a decent price.
