If your vehicle keeps overheating, you should flush the cooling system, replace the coolant, and replace the thermostat. In fact, you should have done that before this.

How do you fix overheating on a dodge Ram 250 van?
I'm not a mechanic but, I had to replace my radiator to fix the overheating problem on my 1994. That was the last thing I replaced after replacing the water pump, thermostat, and replaced my fan with a clutch fan. have not had anymore problems with it overheating once the radiator was replaced. Flush the coolant first then replace the radiator. Hope this helps.
What would cause a 1996 Dodge 1500 318 Ci to overheat for a couple minutes then drop back down to normal temps?
You probably need to replace the engine thermostat. Locate the hose coming out of the top of the radiator & follow it back to the top of the engine. Where the hose attaches to the engine is where you will find the thermostat. If you have not performed a coolant flush on the engine in the last two years I would recommend to do that as well. A coolant flush should be performed every two years along with replacing the thermostat and radiator cap and aproximately three gallons of antifreeze ( dillute antifreeze to manufactuers specs.). All total I would estimate it will cost you 50 dollars if you do it yourself.
