    Advice is normaly worth what you pay for it, and this may be the same because every truck is different. My 58 B61t is a 673 duplex I start in 1st lo then 1st hi then pull the aux box to neutral and then pull the mann to2nd then the aux to lo. this works until 4th then I leave the aux in hi mainto 5th aux to lo then to hi. mine is not od. To down shift I must drop the aux to lo then back to hi then drop the main a gear and so on. When pulling a load up a steep grade I normaly leave the aux in lo and downshift only the main box. Hope this will help a little.
