    Yes, you can drive it like a 9 speed. Just split 12/13. I run right at 80000lbs, I generally only split the top two, unless I'm on an insanely steep hill.

    Mostly for the OP. And if anyone describes stuff. Pictures help in that endeavor.

    This shows the two splitters (low gears to high gears). Then. Splitting the high side from ( low gear to high)
