Here is a brand new 2023 F350 6.7 or lovingly known as the "Texas Cadillac" with the 10R140 transmission.

There has been some venting/overheating issues here is what Sonnax has to say on the subject:

Ford 10-Speed ATF Venting & Overheating
Some of you may remember the early days of 3-speed transmissions with incorrect dipsticks and debates about
ATF levels. Well, that debate is still going strong today. Venting excess ATF still occurs when a unit is overfilled,
and overheating has now come on board blazing hot with the latest Ford 10-speeds.
To the point, if you have an overheating/
venting condition after repair on one of
these units, make certain to check the
ATF level first. We have found that as little
as 1 qt. (1 L) overfilled will cause both
overheating and venting on them.
They typically come into the shop for
repair of the CDF drum. Upon installation,
it is cold when ATF level is checked on
the lift and it gets filled to top level, which
is about a quart over the full mark after
it reaches operating temperature. Some
units have a thermal valve, so that makes it
even more important to do the final check
at operating temperature.
Specifications
As an example vehicle, we will use a
2020 Ford F-150 4x4 (all engines) 10R80
transmission. During internal repair dry, a total
of 13.0 qt. (12.3 L) of MERCON® ULV automatic
transmission fluid XT-12-QULV is needed.
“Pay Attention”
Transmission fluid check should be done with the vehicle
on a level surface and at normal operating temperature.
Normal operating temperature is 96°C (206°F) to 101°C (215°F).
Hopefully this will keep mayhem away when repairing the Ford 10-speed transmissions
