I recently read a post saying the "Loadmaster"designated a 235 cid engine. My 1952 has what I thought to be a 216.Also I am not sure my 2 speed is working.If I determine it is not what are some tips on troubleshooting? I cleaned the frame mounted valve and I think reconnected the lines correctly.Will the valve work with the lines connected "backwards?I know its a silly question but you dont know till you ask.

Thanks,
JMH

All depends on what series truck you have. If you have a 1 1/2 ton "4000" series truck(4100, or 4400) it came standard with a 216 "Thriftmaster" engine, with a 235 "Loadmaster" being optional. If your truck is a 2 ton "5000" series (5100, 5400,or 5700), or "6000" series(6100, 6400, or 6500) the 235 "Loadmaster" was standard, with no other engine available until 1954, when the 261 was an option for the "5000", & "6000" series trucks.
