Mil1ion might be able to help you out a little bit more than i can, he knows the codes pretty well.

the 3.55s were the stock ratio in most trucks with out a tow package (i believe tow package was 3.73s) if you are useing it as a daily driver and dont plan on putting bigger tires on it then it should be fine. if you do plan on putting bigger tires on it and off roading it you might want to think about a new set of gears. i have 3.50s in my truck with 32s and the acceleration lags and strains the engine from a start going up hill, i am currently looking for a set of 4.11s. do you know how many bolts are on the diff cover? also does it have DRW?
