I drove my 1999 dodge ram 1500 into town which is 20 min away! everything was fine. then when i came out and turned it on it said that it was overheating and the rad fluids were full and oil was good and everything else seamed normal! when i was driving it home it would go down about 10 degrees then shoot back up so it was red lining and the "check gauges would come on" im stumped

Water Pump check radiator to see if fluid is moving

Does the engine really get that hot or is the sensor lying to the computer? Check that there aren't wires melted into a manifold someplace, and do a good visual check. Let it cool down and check the radiator fluid level again. (the tank should have some fluid, but not empty (there is a 'hot' and 'cold' level).
