Anyone out there who thinks they can drive for a while before replacing the pins better think again. Those pins are softer than the pot metal the diff gears are made of. That's pretty soft.
I say run it till it stops!! I have 4 race days and 3 or more practice days on my truck and I mean full days 10-12 hr days on this rig.I don't have bent drive shafts or worn out drives and the diffs are holding up fine! I do take a second back up truck to the track just in case,but I say run it till it can`t run no more, for me that= over a month with no problems>>>>>>
