My 9" has 3.55 gears and a new tracklock, I was wondering if the tracklock with work with 4.10 gears also, or if I would have to get another carrier

The carrier doens't care what gears are on it. So yes, it will work with either 4.10 or 3.55's.

I think there is a carrier split, but not until your somewhere above 4.10's.

No split on the Fords. Any 9" carrier will take any 9" gear. Sometimes you do need to grind a little on the area around the inner pinion bearing to clear large ring gears.
