Question 1

Why does this u-joint come with so many outside clips?

Accepted Answer

Each separate bag of clips are a different thickness. You want the joint to have minimal slop but still spin freely and quietly. If it binds, you need a thinner clip. 
On the Volvo 740 driveline where I installed these, none of the clips were thin enough and I had to get different snap rings.

Question 2

Will this fit rear drive shaft on a 96 Jeep Cherokee 4x4

Accepted Answer

it was an option on the rear driveshaft, but they also used a 5-811x on the rear of some xj's. If it is an outside snap ring it is the 5-1310x, if it is an inside snap  ring it is 5-811x.
thanks

Question 3

Will this fit a 1997 Toyota T100 4x4? I am finding contradicting information online

Accepted Answer

Based on your application 1997 Toyota T100 4X4 the 5-1310-1x would not be the correct u-joint part number, the correct u-joint would be part number 5-1510x

Question 4

Will this fit a 1999 chevy c6500?

Accepted Answer

Based on your vehicle, 1999 Chevy C6500, Dana/Spicer u-joint part number 5-1310x would not fit the main drive shaft(s) in this vehicle. The only drive shaft in this vehicle that the 5-1310x could possible fit is if you have a PTO drive shaft, and even then the 5-1310x may not be the correct u-joint. Any u-joint for a Chevy C6500 (Class 6-7) truck is determined based on an OEM part number or by dimensions, the reason is these trucks and same for Class 8 trucks are used in many different types of applications and so the drive shaft in them can be several different series (sizes). So a 1999 Chevy C6500 main drive shaft(s) could use any of the following driveline series:  1410, 1480, 1550, SPL100 (all Outside snap Ring style) or 1610, 1710, 1760 (Bearing Plate "Style" = plates on end of cap with two retaining bolts) or SPL140, SPL170 which are retained by a two bolt retainer, the caps have no "bearing plates". All these possible series of u-joints would be a different part numbers and be different sizes/dimensionally. So in order for us to determine what u-joint you need , we would need to know the dimensions of the current u-joint, cap diameter, cap to cap dimension and how it is retained. You could also supply us with an OEM part number to where we can try to interchange that part number , but if it does not interchange we would then need dimensions.
