If your friend managed to break all that he should be looking for a bigger truck or stop driving like a maniac.

Goerend and Suncoast are two names I hear a lot. What's the total weight of trailer and contents, and total weight of truck/trailer/contents? He'll need those numbers when he calls a transmission builder.

As dguru says, a bigger truck may be needed - or a switch to a manual trans like a G56 or a Spicer.
