I changed my fluid and filter yesterday 44750 miles. (also changed the filter only at 5k)
I have given up on Chevy for Allison stuff. The Chev dealer gave me a price of 37.50 for the filter alone, so I found an Allison distributer. The filters are $8.87ea and Transynd is $29.34 a gallon.

The Allison guys said that there was no problem mixing the Transynd with the Dex III in the tranny unless the old stuff has been burned to syrup. They also said that when they have to empty the comverter they use the line disconnect method and run it until the clear fluid shows up.
Hope this helps
