The sealant for the injector cups can get eaten away and start to leak. If the cups have been replaced and resealed with the current sealant, ELC is no problem for the earlier engines.
EDIT: Apparently the changeover to the newer sealant was on 2/2/99, starting with engine serial number 940614.

Scott, what are you asking with regards to the Water Wetter and Purple Ice? Are you asking if those products are the SCA package needed for coolant used in the 7.3L PSD? If that's your question, then no, they are not the Supplemental Coolant Additive needed for your rig.
You need a DCA4 SCA additive like Ford VC-8 or Fleetguard etc. Fleetguard DCA60L Supplemental Coolant Additive at DieselManor
