^^^^^ That's an old bottle/label. FleetCharge now comes in a silver bottle with a pink top. And the labels for the full concentrate and "pre-diluted" are VERY similar, so know what you're ordering/buying. This one is the full concentrate:
The one good thing I'll say for the Motorcraft anti-freeze (saw this on another link) is that it has a bittering agent in it. This has been required in most European countries for a long time. It makes the coolant bitter, rather than sweet, so after a collision/spill, animals are less likely to drink it and die from it. Adds about $0.03 per gallon to the cost of the anti-freeze, and the industry here has been fighting putting it in all their products.

(I read the MSDS on the Fleet Charge and it also has the bittering agent.)

I think I'll go with the Motorcraft PS pump at O'Reilly's that Mike mentioned. I don't think its necessary to spend a lot of money when I'm only turning smaller tires on my dually then larger tires that guys need upgraded pumps for.
As far as my ac clutch, to get Motorcraft parts would be 2 1/2 times what this is:
Ford 7.3L Powerstroke AC Air Conditioning Clutch 22-10524
Any opinions??

haha ya we are! I found a little time today and took off the ac hub. The bearings on the pulley are exposed, dry and only half of them are there. Its a wonder that thing didn't freeze up. With only half the bearings in there, you would think it would have wobbled. Couldn't find my snap ring tool, tomorrow I'll try to take a picture.
