Default steering intermediate shaft

Is there any place other then the stealer "dealer" to get a steering intermediate shaft for a 2000 1500...??
Would anyone use a junkyard shaft? Not sure if I would want to go that route..
There seemd to be no replacing just the universal joints in the shaft.. have to buy whole shaft

Guess I will be answering this my self lol..
Looks like the intermediate steering shaft is one of mopars better ideas... There are pretty much 2 solutions.. replace with a borgeson or oem..no rebuilding with new u-joints
Seems they can wear out really fast..
The borgeson has a 2 year 30000 mile warranty...The oem.. well it's oem
