Unhappy what type green coolant used

Help! I took my used new truck to the Ford Dealer today to have the coolant flushed out and new coolant put in. The truck is a 2000 F250 with a 7.3 powerstroke Diesel. Well I new this would happen they did not put enough coolant in and now that it is cold the coolant is below the min level on the tank. I would take it back but I am going to be out of town and I need the truck to get to the airport earily Monday morning. Does any one have any idea what green coolant they use at the dealerships. I do not ave any since I just bought the truck. The paperwork states coolant and coolant additive. Any help would be appreciated.

Guys,

I have 2003 7.3L and with VIN that has "E" as an 11th digit, I assume my truck was filled with yellow coolant (coolant now in there is yellow color too) and I don't need to add that SCA/DCA stuff?

I want to do a coolant change in near future, any tips etc. or is this like any other coolant change (drain the old stuff out by removing a hose from somewher on the bottom & fill up with new coolant)?
