All I have to say is that epoxing the weights on is a bunch of bullshit.
I have a '99 club cab R/T that I dropped the driveshaft on Monday to
have it balanced on Tuesday. Well the shaft wasn't balanced correctly
so he epoxied weights on the shaft. I installed the shaft on Tuesday
night but didn't take the truck out because it was raining. So last
night I took it out and hit about 90 mph in it and I thought I ran some
rocks over in the road, but it turned out that all 3 of the weights went
flying off of the driveshaft. So I had to drop the shaft again so it
can be taken care of today.

Replacing the shaft worked for me. If you can't get the dealer to
replace it you should get it balanced at a driveshaft shop. Make sure
they can do aluminum. Ask them if they weld or epoxy the weights
on it.
