coolant question

I did a quick search and just wanting to verify i had the correct info.

My son has a 95 f250 zf5 7.3. It has developed the thermostat housing leak. We plan on replacing that (waterpump too if necessary) and upper and lower hoses.

Is conventional green with the sca additive the correct coolant still for this truck? It has 210k and no known mods other than 4' exhaust.

Yes it still is. The only way to go to ELC is to change injector cups and use 620 Loctite green sealant.

what they all said if you want to play by the books.

having said that, I've been running Final Charge Global ELC for 8 years now and haven't had any issues. Really nice not having to worry about SCA levels or having to deal with all the scale that drops out as a result and tears up water pump seals etc.
