3rd gen anti-freeze brand

I have a 2005 CTD, I'am wondering what brand of anti-freeze I should be using in these engines. Let me know what you guys are using.

The ONLY one recommended for our trucks is a HOAT type. The most readily available is the Zerex G05 Valvoline.com > Products > Zerex > Antifreeze Zerex > Zerex G-05? Antifreeze / Coolant
For me the best place to get it is at Napa. I buy the Full Strength and dilute with distilled water.

Fleetguard recommended their ext. life blue. I've been using it in 2 CTDs for 18 yrs with great results. Craig

I agree with what Craig has said about the "Fleetguard' Brand of antifreeze.
It is the only brand I have used on the five Dodge CTD Pickups I have had
and have never had any problems with it. It is also the brand that is put into
all new Dodge CTD CR Pickups from the factory. Fleetguard is a subsidiary
company of Cummins.
