Hi guys. I dropped off my driveshaft to a local dealer to have my oem joints replaced(bought spicers) mech said he had to use a lot of heat to get the plastic out to release the joints. Said they were popping/snapping ect. There a dodge dealer and they were familiar with the oem plastic that holds joints in. Said they had to use more heat them normal compared to dodge setups. My concern is my driveshaft (aluminum)weakended due to the extensive heat used? I'm going to the track soon! Plz advise!

Aluminum dissipates heat very well. Thats probably why they said it took more heat than normal. If it isnt warped then it should be fine. If it is warped you will know by 60-70 mph just street driving it.

Yep the aluminum sides are hard as **** to get hot because the heat dissipates and goes down the shaft. Thats normal.
