Go to Ford and get VC 8 heavy duty coolant. 3 gallons of that, two bottles of DCA4 and three gallons of distilled water.
The coolant is a low silicate formulation that is good for your diesel.

I just used premixed JD coolant from the local John Deere implement It wasn't as expensive as it is now though. I got 18 gallons for 121.98 back around 2001. I think it was a goof or the doubled there prices!

You really should use a LOW SILICATE coolant. Regular green doesn't cut it. If it doesn't say low silicate on the bottle, don't use it.
