There is some excellent info on the 3 speeds and this problem at Paul Smith's site...and he shows the brackets that are available for this problem from Chrysler...

Page has lots of pics,,, differential pin information is at the bottom

Copied and pasted from his site linked above

Finally Chrysler has come up with a "Fix" for this problem, a bracket to keep the pin in: Part number is 04800059AA, cost about $3.00 each (You need two)

pin retainer brackets: 04800059AA spider gears: 04348679AB Spider gear shaft: 04659142 shim washer kit 04504568

That bracket only keeps the pin in. It doesn't stop the whole thing from overheating if you are spinning the wheels in the mud/snow.
