coolant question

I own a 01 F250 with a 7.2 PSD and I want to change the coolant but I am having trouble finding the Zerex G-05. I did find a coolant called Fleet Charge the color is purpleit is listed as a heavy duty universal coolant with 2800 ppm of nitrates and it does contain the SCA additive. Does anyone know if this would be safe to put in my truck?

I recommend going with the Zerex G-05 only.
Available at Auto Zone stores.
See the thread on flushing the system and conversion to the Gold.

I emailed the manufacturer to see what they had to say. I couldn't find the Ford spec and the dealer was less than helpful. (not surprising) I will post the email for the manufactuer when I get thier response.
