Now, going on the plethora of information you're provided, it could be that it's low on coolant - could be the thermostat's stuck... the radiator could be plugged, the water pump impeller could be eroded... could be an air pocket, or a number of other, more obscure things.
How about a little more information... ie. when does it overheat - what type of driving. What have you done so far to try and isolate the problem?
Low on coolant.

How come the Jasper remanufactured engine in my '98 Ram doesn't get the fuel economy of my original 318?

Stupid Hemi has 16 of 'em... I'll have to sell the truck when it needs a tuneup, I can't afford that many plugs!
