I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 3.7 Liter V6. My truck has been overheating the past month. I replaced my water pump, radiator, coolant temperature sensor, fan clutch, thermostat, radiator cap, spark plugs, and serpentine belt. AND it still overheats. I am not losing any oil and not losing any coolant. My heater works fine and my heater core is not leaking any water. I can drive it for about 15 minutes and its already on the red line. It drives great just overheats. If anybody can help me out here I would much appreciate it. Thanks

Sounds like you pretty well covered the entire cooling system. You may want to have it chemical tested for a bad head gasket. Sometimes it can ingest exhaust into the coolling system which will cause the overheating like you describe. A chemical test will detect the prescence of exhaust gasses in the cooling system. A bad head gasket doesnt always cause oil in the water or vice-versa
