If you are driving straight the pump has little or no pressure- so 5000 rpm is no big deal - if you turn the wheel to the lock position at idle you can hear the load on the engine now imagine that load when the pump is turning not at 600 but rather 6000.

So Do a donut don't lock the wheel. Though the design flaw in the dodge would still cause the pump hose to blow because of the extra pressure.
