turns out i have a blow head gasket shop wants 1600 to fix

 

There are a couple videos on youtube explaining how to replace a timing belt on the 3.0
DOHC engines have timing belts and is probably the most involved part of that job, resetting the timing. Course if you get that far into it, might as well throw on a new belt.

What other symptoms do you have? If it is ONLY overheating, it may be something else. Normally a bad head gasket creates a list of problems.

 

How many miles since the water pump was replaced?

Overheating is usually a stuck thermostat
