The pin is not an intended shear point, as it destroys the complete rearend, but what is next to go? I supose the CV shaft could be inline for failure, but they are fairly strong. As for Dodge replacing the pin before they have to, no way, co. policy won't allow this. On nice thing though, is they are finally using the Unitrax pin, that is of Nasa technology. I really wouldn't go back with the rearend that's in the car while it's down. Go with a Quaffi, or Detroit Tru Trac, change out the gear ratio while your at it. Peace of mind, as you will allways be leary of putting your foot in it.
ON the subject of Har. balancer, the squek is not from the belt, but the actual balancer is slipping on the crank. Mine had this squeak in the morning, and as it warmed up it faded. When I heard about this being the problem, I went out and checked it, sure enough, it was finger loose. Little did I know the damage was done. The car went in for the cam bolt recall, and there is an upgrade bolt, for the bal. They then found it to be wollered out badly.
Comp Coupes are the same diff. I think, and no they don't break. They really don't do many hard launches. Personally I doubt they leave the oem pin in those cars. I wouldn't

ps, Don't compare the Comp Coupe with an SRT as far as powertrain, I really think there is much more to those cars than we think, maybe by the factory or after. They run to good for me to believe they are an SRT likeness, with some body bracing and safety equip, and good tires???
