I drive the car only rarely so gave it some time and inspected the driveshaft myself and found some signs of grease splatter and confirmed it was the old part # so schedule it to go in and told my SA I was aware of the catastrophic damage that can be associated with failure and in preparing for an upcoming road trip did not feel comfortable driving it. I was told that even though i received the letter of warranty extension the production date fell outside of the range but would inspect and make a determination. Low and behold they found it showing initial signs of failure and replaced. Now the shake on acceleration is gone!

Christ this sounds terrible. Firstly; you got a letter indicating you were covered. Secondly; Your Truck had the old part installed in production which means their dates of coverage are absolutely useless. Thirdly; Your truck falls outside the spectrum of coverage?? WHAT BS!! You had to beg them to replace a few hundred dollar part, MSRP that is, which has been flagged as a serious issue that could cause catastrophic failure. This is insane. I'm happy you got this fixed but this could have been a shit show for you.
