Is using tap water Kosher with Ford?? Does the factory have a spec on this? 
I've used distilled water on everything I've owned (gas/diesel/car/truck/mortorcycle) for the last 25 yrs.

The coolant concentration should be maintained at 50/50 coolant and distilled water, which equates to a freeze point of -34°F (-36°C).

Your welcome as I said there are and different opinions as you can see by this thread example. You didn't say how many miles you have on the coolant or your truck. Drop some coolant out from the petcock and see how it looks if it looks pretty bad go for a full bore flush with the 2 quarts of Vc-6 and keep it up until it looks pretty clear. If it looks pretty good bright yellow I would go for just one quart. Personally I don't think the VC-6 would bother the thermostat so left my in. Don't forget your coolant filter.
