Don't know if this'll be any help but I figured it couldn't hurt to post it. If it's delayed/early shifting then this might be worth trying this as the transmision throttle valve cable could be slightly out of adjustment.
TV Cable Adjustments (V6/V8 Magnum Engines)
** Does not apply to the 4.7L Engine as it is electronically controlled **
GENERAL INFORMATION
The transmission throttle valve is operated by the valve body throttle lever. The throttle lever is actuated by a cable connected to the engine throttle body lever. A lock button at the engine end of the cable provides for cable adjustment.
A correctly adjusted throttle valve cable, will cause the throttle lever on the transmission to move simultaneously with the throttle body lever from the idle position. Proper adjustment allows simultaneous movement without causing the transmission throttle lever to move ahead of, or lag behind the throttle body lever.
CHECK
Turn ignition key to OFF position.
Remove air cleaner.
Verify that throttle body lever is at curb idle position. Then verify that transmission throttle lever is also at idle (full forward) position.
Slide cable off attachment stud on throttle body lever.
Compare position of cable end to attachment stud on throttle body lever:
Cable end and attachment stud should be aligned (or centered on one another) to within 1 mm (0.039 inch) in either direction.
If cable end and attachment stud are misaligned (off center), cable will have to be adjusted as described in following procedure.
Reconnect cable end to attachment stud. Then with aid of a helper, observe movement of transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body.
If both levers move simultaneously from idle to half-throttle and back to idle position, adjustment is correct.
If transmission throttle lever moves ahead of, or lags behind throttle body lever, cable adjustment will be necessary. Or, if throttle body lever prevents transmission lever from returning to closed position, cable adjustment will be necessary.
PROCEDURE
Turn ignition switch to OFF position and shift into Park.
Remove air cleaner.
Disconnect cable end from attachment stud on throttle body.
Verify that transmission throttle lever is in idle (full forward) position. Then be sure lever on throttle body is at curb idle position.
Insert a small screwdriver under edge of retaining clip and remove retaining clip.
Center cable end on attachment stud to within 1 mm (0.039 inch) and release cable button.
Install retaining clip onto cable: housing.
Check cable adjustment. Be sure transmission throttle lever and lever on throttle body move simultaneously and as described in cable adjustment checking procedure.

Good to hear. There used to be a tips and tricks link over in the 2nd gen sec for the 5.2/5.9 Magnum engines that had a bunch of good info like the TV cable adjustment, but the link doesn't work any more.
EDIT: I found another link. It's not quite the same but covers most of what was in the other link. You've probably researched/know most of what's there but I figured I'd post it anyway. It might be a useful link for any of the other 5.9 guys who come across this thread.
