Don't check it cold. Drive the truck for a little bit until the fluid warms up, then park in a level area. Put the truck in NEUTRAL. Leave the engine running. Then check the transmission fluid, it should be in the marks on the dipstick, just like the oil dipstick.
Does this help?

Impossible to say. When you shut it down the converter starts to drain back into the pan. Depending on how much it drains back and how much time it has to do so you'll get varying over full readings...I would think.

But what should it be when COLD?
Don't check it cold.
No way to check it cold.
.Not yelling, just having fun with font sizes.
Is there a reason that you cannot check the fluid, is the truck not running or something?
