It seems to me that you are going to drive it anyway despite everyones recommendations not to...Probably because you HAVE to... So just order the part as fast as you can and don't drive the truck unless absolutely necessary.

No sense waiting for someone to tell you it'll be ok to drive on because you'll be waiting a while.
