    MAN F2000 got synchonized transmission, u have to depress clutch every time u shift, so u'll be tired, u need clutch servo. Freightliner cabin is not ready for hydrolic clutch, too much work to fit clutch master cylinder, run hidrolic lines, run air line to clutch servo.

    Would you sell your transmission? Or maybe just the tcm and voltage doubler?

    use aftermarker 12 to 24 v converters. No reason to use stock converter with switchable and not switchable output.

    Connect both wires and use it as ignition power wiring.

    As emergensy way I advice disconnect one battery and use it as additional to make 24 v in your truck
