For the coolant system to get pressurized to the extreme you are reporting, I would suspect a head gasket failure, although it's very rare on the V6. It sounds like you've spent lots of money trying to solve this. Get a combustion leak tester, which tests for the presence of exhaust/combustion gas in the coolant. NAPA sells one for around $50. The part-number is BK 7001006. Description: "Leak Detector Kit / Engine Block, Test Tools Inc.; Test For Cracked Blocks, Leaky Gaskets, Cracked or Warped Heads". This should confirm that you indeed have a leaky head gasket. The Technician, A.J., has been smoking too much wacky stuff for lunch.
