I have a 2000 dodge durango that that would get hot while in stop and go traffic but it would cool down while moving. It finally overheated yesterday and keeps overheating after about 10 minutes of driving. There was steam coming fron the front and back of the engine but I could not determine exactly where it was coming from. I had the water oump and thermostat changed before the problem occurred. I filled the radiator and reservoir with antifreeze and it still is still overheating. What seems to be the problem

Thermostat if water is Running. Cheapest Fix to start with!

Hi
Check for plugged exhaust system. If plugged will cause overheating and misfiring of all cylinders.

this would be your cooling fan module located by your air filter mounted on the core support.

you could have a bad hose, check the upper and lower hoses and hake sure they are not caving in on themselves. sounds like it could either be that or you might have something cloging the hoses. run the engine with the hood open so you have the pressure build up, and look at both raditior hoses. see if they are bulging out as pressuer gets built, or if they cave in .

When engine running, ensure no engine combustion gas bubbles in coolant resevoir (if so, the head gasket is blown).

Check cooling fans are operating ok (when required when car warms up), if not check
1) fuse,
2) relay operation,
3) heat sensor switch.

Replace thermostat.
When re-filling cooling system, bleed off any airlock as necessary.

Check for collapsing (soft) coolant hose on suction side of waterpump when engine revs above idle.
