might be wharped heads causing the overheating. is the coolant youre putting in green to start? cuz it might be dexcool. lol.
but dont trash your motor for another used motor that could have problems as well. take it to a good shop and get it done right.
oh did you look above your air dam? maybe you've got a couple plastic bags stuck in front of your radiator. wouldnt that just **** you off.

josh i have the same problem, the dex turns a rusty water color. looks like wet dirt or something. I was just flushing my system today, give it a good flush. (Mine was overheating too.) system runs high its at about 220F (middle) so i think I'm gonna flush her again and treat the system. BTW im running stock radiator and hoses...NO THERMO. take the thermo out... it just gets in the way. it got cooler...but i wanna run lower then 200f. lemmie know how you do. get the prestone flush kit, and flush it while she is running for a good 10-20 minutes.

Rust in your coolant is a well known problem with the 3.4 v6.... try EVANS NPG-R Waterless Coolant................... run a Low Temp T-Stat, hotwire your fans or get a Fan Switch............ another good idea is Water Wetter if you wanna run Green coolant......
