You must make sure that you have purged all air from the coolant system. An air bubble will not allow proper flow of coolant and could also cause the engine to overheat. Add coolant into resevior and leave top off with engine running. Add more coolant as required. If temp gets too high with cap off and coolant starts to back out of resevior, then replace cap and allow to cool. Remove cap after cool and top up coolant again and repeat procedure.

It seems that Dodge vehicles around that year tend to have trouble with the water pump. E-How has a decent article on checking your water pump here: http://www.ehow.com/how_7679_tell-cars-water.html First, check your coolant level (there is a cap under your hood that says "Coolant Only", probably yellow, toward the grille, and probably on your right if you are standing at the grille facing the car. Check the coolant dipstick and make sure that you are topped off. It is possible to overheat before the check coolant light comes on. Also, when your car has been sitting for 3 or more hours without being run check the radiator cap and make sure that it is on tight. Before touching the radiator cap make sure that it is cool.
