    The plus side to this is not having to set up a new diff. With a lift you could be back on the road in thirty minutes.

    Cars been on a lift for 10 days waiting for correct parts. That may he what I end up doing but I shouldn't have to. I dont understand why getting spider gears for this car has been such a struggle.

    Hi,

    I am confused about using the stock 28 Spline carrier with 31 spline axles. Doesn't the carrier have 28 splines machined into each end to engage the axles? If so how can it engage 31 spline axles?

    Mine is setup with 28 spline built into the planetary gears not the carrier. With clutch packs and shims behind the planetary gears. So I could do 31 spline axles with 31 spline gears.

    That is correct the spline is in the gears. Forgot myself. Thank You.

    News to me the gears are interchangeable. Something new every day. That saves setup on a new carrier if changing to 31 spline as TurboV6Bryan suggested.

    No problem...I was under the impression that all 8.8 rear ends were the same. I'm learning something new with this one for sure.

    The Marauder Carrier is all by itself, no parts are available for them. If your spiders are junk, throw the carrier away and replace it with an Eaton. No idea why Ford built a Marauder specific carrier but they did. Just had a 28 spline Fox body 8.8 apart, they are different from the Marauder...

    That is really good to know.

    Are the clutch pads available?

    You say an Eaton but a new 31 spline ford carrier would work as a replacement with new 31 axles?

    I just ordered this kit from My dealer, they say yes it's for the Limited Slip Differential. Hopefully they are correct and it fits the Marauder carrier.

    I've got a set from summit that look exactly like what I have coming in a couple days. Let me know how yours turn out and i will do the same. If mine dont fit I will have to do a full carrier replacement.
