An Allison 1000 transmission will not bolt up to a Chevrolet 454 you begin engine. The Allison transmission is much larger than the Chevrolet engine housing can handle.

It looks like 2005 was a transition year between the 4L80E and Allison 1000 with 6.0 engine. Sounds like 4L80E was typical, but easily upgraded to Allison at time of ordering, but also depending on packages and equipment. If it has an external filter it is the Allison, otherwise it is 4L80E version.
Yes. All Duramax and 8.1L gas engined 2500 or 3500 series pickup trucks with an automatic transmission have Allison (1000 series) transmissions. Larger trucks (2500 series and up) also use the Allison transmission for their automatic offering but it is a different series that is similar to, but not the same as, the 1000 series used in the smaller trucks. Prior to the Duramax (introduced in 2001), GM did not use the Allison behind their diesels (6.2L and 6.5L) in pickups.
They all use automatic transmissions anymore. For Type B, C, and D school buses, the Allison automatics are most commonplace. Usually an Allison 1000 series transmission. For Type A school buses, it'll depend on what the chassis manufacturer typically uses... a Type A school bus on a General Motors chassis which can still be reasonably expected to be in service will have, depending on model year, a 4L80E, Allison 1000, or 5L70E, or 6L80E, for example.
Allison recommends Transynd. It's also best to use an Allison spin-on filter. The canister spin-on has a magnet attached to it unless someone disposed of an old filter and overlooked it. Amsoil now comes highly recommended so I suppose it comes down to price and a call to Allison service just to hear what they have to say. Here's a very good link to doing a complete fluid change in your driveway. If you choose to do this, please be very exact or the consequences could be expensive! http://mdt.volvospeed.com/repairs/allison_atf_filter.HTML Good luck!!
Yes!! It is imparative that the filter get replaced every time a service is performed. The filter is located in the REAR pan. There are 2 pans on that transmission. The larger one is the one that has the filter in it. Remove the pan, replace the filter, put on a new pan gasket and reinstall the pan. Fluid must be pumped in from under the vehicle through the upper plug on the pan. Vehicle must be running to add fluid to the appropriate level. Mac's Transmissions Houston, TX 281-743-1000

Depending on year and model, they can be either mechanically or electronically controlled. They're true automatics - they use a torque converter, unlike an autoshift, which is an automated manual. They're available with 5 - 7 gears for the 1000 - 4000 Series, although they do have a ten speed, twin countershaft transmission.
