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.

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.
