No, I have a pretty bad ass parts guy at my local dealer... Jerry was here with me when we discovered nothing is the same as any other 8.8 rear... The gears in a Marauder diff are different thicknesses than the other carriers...
 
Ok guys an update...got a complete used carrier from mustangeddie . The carrier and gears are from a 98-04 mustang. Everything works perfect as it should. I did rebuild the clutch packs but the ones that came with the used carrier looked ok so they will be spares for the future.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me get this figured out. I would have never guessed the marauder had a marauder specific carrier and gears. But I've definitely learned something new about my car AKA the million dollar marauder as my coworkers call it lol.

You have to buy the mustang carrier. They do not make spider gears for the marauder not even aftermarket. Why the marauder has specific carrier is beyond me.
 
Gear install kits come with the pinion and carrier bearings as well as wheel bearings and all seals. Did you not install new bearings? New s spring? Seals?

New axles and seals and axle bearings. I Used the used spider gears carrier and bearings on carrier. Replaced clutches and shims. Had to get the car off the lift so time was a issue. Will be replacing gears and bearings soon.
