I know of a few shops that specialize in 5.9 swaps. ATS does them but I am not a fan of ATS. Another shop in NW Montana also does a bunch. Lots of them were put in Ford 6.0 trucks. Also what I was told is that the ford five speed auto was plenty robust to hold the 5.9 torque. I can not remember if they did any serious transmission upgrades or if it was mainly the torque converter.
All three trucks have good points and bad. Our plant mechanical engineer had his Allison transmission go bad. He tried to fix it and was not able to get it to work correctly. Ended up paying a dealership to repair it. Something went bad in the tail shaft area. Any thing mechanical can break.
