Thanks.

The metal tag on the rear differential has several numbers/characters I wanted to decode, but I guess they aren't that important for my purposes.

Do you think there is any measurable difference in gas mileage between the 3.55 and the 3.73, under normal driving conditions and highway speeds?

Thanks again.

Not much. You probably wouldn't see more than 1 mpg or so difference.
