Sounds like an overdrive problem. The transmission is kicking in and out of overdrive causing it to overwork and get too hot. turn the overdrive off and try it.

What could be causing my 1997 Dodge Ram to overheat at stoplights but it only happens in drive if I put it in park it does not overheat?

It depends, is the Transmission over heating or is it the engine itself? you may need to have the transmission serviced, band adjustment and fluid change but either way in drive the engine is still trying to spin the transmission but something is not allowing the clutch to spin. i would just take it to a tranny shop.
