they say you should use the for coolant additive. if not it could pit your block but i'm not sure if this is true.

Talked to the ford dealership as long as i am using motorcraft (gold)radiator fluids and distil water,
it should do fine.. But also should be changing the fluids every 15.000 miles Or every 6th oil change ( 3.000 miles ) i know it could be a bit much , but that is what i'm doing .. buy the way could you send me some pics of the truck bed and maybe about how much you want for it
