Re: 03 gp se 3.1ltr prob

So when you seen the temp go the red line, you didn't think anything was wrong? Why would you let it run til it died? It very well might be dead forever! It sounds like you probably had a $10 part fail, or frozen, called a thermostat. Yeah and your anti-freeze wasn't probably anti, so much. More like just Freeze. It's sounds like you may have ice in your radiator.

If your lucky, the motor might run again. You need to change your thermostat and put in fresh anti-freeze. If it doesn't run, you might want to take it to a GM service center to see if they can salvage the motor for you. You may have burned some cylinders, warped the heads, cracked a head, who knows. Good luck let us know what happens.
