    EDIT: You motor is a 3.1, I would try re-bleeding the cooling system.

    Do a compression test. A friend of mine had this happen on his gp and the head gasket is going out which isn't surprising since it's a 3.1

    That krap is expensive . We sell it all the time at napa and a lot of people come back satisfied . I wouldn't do that to my car I would rather replace the gaskets for the price of that stuff . I'm glade it worked keep me informed on how long it lasts.
    Just so I have more info to tell customers about it .
