I continued digging and found the following site:

The page contains the following information:
Lost your Freightliner or American LaFrance manuals?
Never fear, you can download one page or the entire manual from Freightliner's Web site on the Internet.
The site has both operation and maintenance manuals for Freightliner, American LaFrance, Sterling and
Western Star vehicles.
The page also contains a hot link to yet another site that provides a series of
clickable links to find the Driver/Operator or (Basic) Maintenance manual you
are interested in. It has manuals covering 10 different models of Freightliners.

 

Here's a Freightliner link.

Click on the "download manuals" button, then select the "maintenance manual" tab, then select your model and download it. This ia a free one, about 70-100 pages, depending on your model.

You need the service manual. Tells ya how to rebuild everything and how it works. Should come with engine service manual too.
