sounds like no coolant or air in the system
if the gauge went to hot then drops... its low on coolant and then it got a slug of coolant

I've got the same problem in my 98 V8 dak. However, I noticed a tiny drip when I'm running the heater coming from a weep tube about middle of the firewall near the bottom. My diagnosis seems clear, someone put stop leak in it, it completely plugged it with the exception of the leak out of the condensate hose. I'll be putting in a new core and flushing.

Sounds like your blower works, but no heat?
My '90 3.9 Dakota would not product heat brand new off the dealer lot. Defective thermostat was stuck open. New thermostat got the heat back. On a higher mileage truck though, I'd agree an air bubble or heater core blockage.
I did have a friend that had a F250 diesel with no heat. His problem was a big air bubble in the heater core, system had to be burped, then he had heat.
