Ford 2003 F-250 Fluids help?

We got this truck 10 months ago, and I don't think anyone has done anything with the fluids since we got it,

I checked the fluids today after driving about 20 miles and back.

Trans fluid, and Oil dipsticks were completely covered, but the engine was hot so i didn't think much of it. but after 4 hours i checked again and it was the same thing.

Don't know much about engines but for the record, yes i did wipe the sticks first, and yes I was on flat terrain.

After 10 months Are they too full? or could there be another problem?

    It depends on how it is checked. My 2011 Honda civic tranny fluid is checked between 60 and 90 seconds when hot, after it is shut off. My '04 Dodge diesel is checked when hot and in drive. Get an owner's manual for it, Google for a download.

    Transmission fluid level should be checked with the engine running and at operating temperature. the engine should be off for oil.
