What was your trans issue again? It's a big job to swap a trans in that truck. I have heard of people dropping the trans and being able to slide it sideways and out but it's tight.
I have the tool I am working on pulling a trans from one of my parts trucks. Its been snowy the last week or so and its really cold so maybe late next week if it warms up. Its shown in operation online.
Get the tool. OTC 5190A. Army mechs keep the same style in their tool kit thats what they use to pull the driveshafts. Its too easy to cause damage hammering the ujoints out.

Sounds like an electrical gremlin if the low air buzzer was buzzing quietly. Bad grounds bad connections. The trans ecu does not do well without proper voltage.
Your best bet is to have the Allison dealer take a look at it. Also the wire harnesses can get some corrosion on contacts over time and that can create all kinds of issues. The allison dealer has plug in diagnostics.
Allison lists approved fluids on their website. I go with the stuff right from the Allison dealer Transynd if I am swapping fluid. I have not changed the fluid in any of my lmtv trucks though.

I didn't see it on the Allison approved list. If it worked before with the military fluid and it won't work now that you changed the fluid, go back to the old fluid type.
