I would suggest you call Freightliner 1-800-FTL-Help 24/7/365 with the last six of your VIN and they can give you all sorts of information.

On my coach the torque spec is stamped (Molded actually) into the washer attached to the nut.. Mine is also 450

however the torque spec may be different depending on the rig, I have seen different figures and I've not looked at all that many, it's a function of several things,, But check the "Washer" part of the nut... When they put it there, it is 1: Very clear (easy to see) and 2: very handy.

Check the manufacturers specs, and don't forget to re-torque in 50 odd miles,and once more in another 150. Nothing could ruin your day like loosing a wheel or two.
My freightliner calls for 425. Haven't seen if the're marked .

FYI Northern Tool carries a torque expander kit for under $100. Increases the torque by 3X so you don't have to strain your milk. Well worth the price if you want to check torque or change wheels yourself
