Open the distributor cap and test the different points mentioned in that troubleshooting part. You'll find out real quick what is wrong. Most of those parts are inexpensive and can be found at Memphis Equipment, Alfa Heaven, etc. I had a condensor go out a while back and found it was the problem...
I just scanned a copy of the wiring diagram for the truck and the troubleshooting steps for the distributor into a pdf, but for some reason can't upload it. I think they have been having some issues with the site because I have been able to upload in the past.
PM me your email and I'll send it...
Welcome to the forum! There is indeed a lot of maintenance to do on these old trucks. A copy of TM9-8024 will be very valuable to you as you learn your new truck. The TM can be found at Portrayal Press and sometimes on Ebay.
The brake system always seems to be an issue with these trucks if not...
I just noticed those amber lights mounted on the front fenders of all three of those trucks. Is that a Canadian Military thing? Just markers, turn signals or both?
4179 would be your VIN. I am curious what the other numbers mean too. I found these numbers stamped on the top of the bumpers of my parts trucks. The numbers beginning in 411 are the military hood registration numbers, but I have no idea what the others are.

Oh man! Thank you for those handles. Let me know how much I need to send you.
I did charge ahead..but not as fast as I would like. Work has kept me busy and then the flu has been passed around the family a couple of times over the last month. The weather over Thanksgiving was rainy and cold so...

Take a wire wheel to the frame and you'll find it. If it is an M135, it should say something similar to M135/1234. The numbers after the M135, M211, etc. will be your VIN.
That is my understanding as well. The master cylinder I am replacing on my truck had a check valve in it. One off of a parts truck did not have one.
The airpak does have a check valve and it was the seal in front of that, that was bad on mine. Not sure if it is because of doubled up check...
Was the NAPA part number the same? I can't get anything to come up on their website with that number.
Good find! I will add it to the part spreadsheet this evening.
Let me know the locating ring part numbers when you get them. That would be good to add to the list.
Is the FS-926 number for the oval clamps? Can you post a link where you found them? Another good thing to add to the spreadsheet!!
