Overheating

I have a Dodge Ram 1500, year '96 with 92000 miles.
it runs fine for hours if I speed up to 60 mph. However it overheats if it goes above 65mph. I see the temperature needle going all the way up unless I decrease the speed to 60mph. If it overheats the water/antefreeze in the carburator is broiling. The oil is not mixing with the water as I have checked for that. The problem occurs ONLY when it goies above 60mph.
your assistance is appreciated.

Thank you for the advise. But the water pump was replaced about a year ago.
