This just happened to my neighbor's car. Turned out to be a bad thermostat. The part cost $6 and it is easy to replace yourself. Hope this is the simple fix for you.

Does it spin faster than normal when cranking......V6 Mopars are very unforgiving in the head gasket department.
Casey.....T-stat may be the root cause of Overheating...but it wont stop the engine from running......
