Hi Amber:
Looks like you have eliminated quite a few possibilities. How many miles on your D?
Next I would be looking at the possibility of a clogged radiator. When exactly does it overheat? Will it do it at idle in the driveway, or only running down the road?
You have to be really careful with aluminum heads as they will warp easily from overheating. This usually leads to a blown head gasket which also can cause overheating.
Are you seeing any loss of coolant or white steam/smoke from the exhaust?
