A lot of misinformation and assumptions here.
Each state may have slightly different rules, but if you question it, look up the rules for your state.

Should be a tag on the side of the trans. It's likely a 1000 series Allison. Pretty common.
I bought filters at bumper to bumper. Can also be purchased online.
When you say disengage and re-engage, could you explain that more?
The injectors in these are driven by a high pressure oil pump...
It's a county district, so they have to go off the lowest bulk bidder.
Iirc, the last one was Rotella 15-40. I don't think it was synthetic.

Kinda depends. Our dumptrucks see a lot of idle time.
At least I aimed for 250hrs. Almost never happened.
For being a fairly large fleet, I recommended oil samples. But that'll likely never happen either.

In a medium duty like that, I would aim for 250hrs/2500 miles or so. Definitely harder on the oil than in a pickup.
Could also come down to a oil quality issue. I would run a cleaner/additive for a few changes.

Like the springy looking one above, 99-03 7.3.
People talk about the Cummins grid heaters. Thing is, the Cummins doesn't need it. Most I've been around will start down into the teens without grid heaters very easily. Probably 90% delete it as a restriction.

To clarify, is your truck auto or manual?
The push rod goes through above the throttle pedal, not the clutch pedal side.

There were talks of selling complete engines. Don't know if it came to fruition.
Wouldn't hurt to ask.
OTOH, searching for good machine shops by word of mouth and personal experiences can turn up results as well. IMO, a good machine shop is just that.
