Engine oil capacity ?

Bought a 2006 2500 4x4 and changed oil today. Owners manual states 12 quarts capacity. I drained the pan and replaced the filter. Checked oil level after adding 11 quarts and it appears it is one quart too full. Drove the truck a few miles and parked on level spot and still appears to be too full. Left dip stick out of tube for twenty minutes thinking the tube may need to drain. Checked again and still shows what I would estimate about a quart too high.
Part number on dip stick is 395009. I wonder if it has the wrong dip stick in it or is this normal. My 99 always showed right on the full mark after the correct amount of oil was added.

Input appreciated.
