I'm adding a tracklok to my 8.8 in my ranger. The tracklok I bought off craigs list didn't have the cross pin. will a open diff cross pin fit the tracklok?

I'm 99% sure they will NOT.
The open diff uses a 5/8 pin and the track lock uses a 3/4...or something to that effect.
Now, this was in reference to 31 splines. It might be different for 28's. -
The stock open differential crosspin fits the 8.8 trac-lok.
I installed it today, the locking screw pin is also the same. On a side note it all went great, I even changed axle seals. Then it want way South, I was ready to put the new gearoil in with the little bottle of friction modifier, I found the fill plug, cleaned it out, put in my 3/8 extension with a long ratchet and it promptly rounded off the square hole in the plug. Well dam, I get out my chizel and beat around on it, nothing. I get my torch and the fire extinguisher since the plug is about 4" away from the gas tank and procede to get the plug hot. The plug started smoking so I cut the torch off, hammer and chizle more ,nothing.
At this point I'm resigned to remove the rearend and drill and use a easyout but then I decided to drill out the upper portion of the plastic/fiberglass back cover and add a 1/4" npt plug to fill it. I measured the oil I removed, added a couple of ounces and put that much back in. A little 3 hour glitch I never planned for. The rearend is silent and I have a posi for the road at the deerlease if it ever rains again.
