The expansion tank will be more full when hot. Let it cool down and check it then. The level in the axpansion tank should go lower. If not then you may have a faulty radiator cap.
Also have you checked the cooling fan? Engine driven? With the engine off, spin the blade. Does it spin real freely? Continue to spin for more than a quick second? May have a bad fan clutch. They have fluid inside and the fluid can leak out of the seals after age.

I would check the water pump
I just had the same problem with a 97 grand caravan turned out it was the water pump not working right.
So in my opinion i would check the water pump
All Mopar over heat quickly, if timing is off in the least. Abad radiator cap, not holding sufficient pressure can let pressure push the fluid back to the resevoir. You do not mention, does it return to the radiator upon coll down??? A slight head gasket leak/causing compression leak can also do this.
