Wanting to drain my old coolant and add fresh but not sure what brand to use. I was told there is a specific type to use for diesels because it has additives that regular 50/50 doesn't. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.

The regular green is all you need. Get it straight and mix with distilled h2o to save a few bucks.

For what it's worth, I spent an extra buck and switched to HOAT antifreeze (orange stuff from newer trucks), supposedly better coolant in terms of longevity and additives.
