Please dont put that crap in there it wont do any good the heads are warped and the head gasket cant hold back the pressure doing anything but correctly fixing it will cost u more because now u get to replace a radiator heater core hoses and flush the block out after u put that stuff in there.

Ok. Well It turned out that the thermostat I installed was bad. I did drain and flush the system and changed the thermostat again and the low speed fan relay. I drove for 3 days without mishap. Then yesterday after a 35 min drive i got home and after coming out an hour later noticed coolant under the passenger front fender. This is a nightmare. Hoping to save up the money to have the whole cooling system re done at Chrysler. This car has me baffled. It runs at proper temp and then after sitting it spits the coolant on the ground. I did not overfill it and never do. I am beginning to think I should have bought a Chevy

I agree.

aluminum is not very forgiving with overheats - you could get away with it to some degree when the engines were entirely made of cast iron.
If the heads are warped, they are warped and no band aid solution is going to last, if it even works at all.

I understand that warped heads are warped heads, that there is no easy fix and that all makes and models will have these problems. I ended up saving my money on the head fix stuff and I am hoping to save the money to have the heads done. Thank you for your advice and your time in this.

100 dollars each, includes cam sprocekts and Cam for each one plus shipping. The wt is 45 lbs each one to help you figure the shipping costs from 12992 zip. I also have other parts from the 2005 oil pan, oil pump, ext manifolds, timing belt covers front and rear,fuel rails and injectors, intake and lower plenum,throttle body, water pump, crank shaft pulley w/o a/c, valve covers and thermostate housing. These are all from a 2005 300 vin#2C3JA53G55H574107 DATE OF MAN 9-04.
