Yes 3.55 was the most common ratio used with the aw4,you can be about 90% sure it is. But See if there is a tag on either differential.

Do you mean they want $25 for the entire differential or just one of the axles,because $30 is about normal for the ca's but $25 is what I would exspect to pay for an axle,in that case ratio does not matter.

That is much closer to actual cost.
