correct antifreeze for 2006 dodge ram diesel truck
Yes, in the radiator, unless it's air cooled (I don't know of any air cooled diesel car/truck engines)
Absolutely nothing.
Green.
It will overheat because the water is needed to circulate/transfer the heat.
Put diesel in it. Or drain all of the oil/antifreeze if you want the damage to be most likely irreversable.🚗🚙 yer
diesel has a lower boiling point than antifreeze. as the engine heats up the diesel will vapourize and cause high pressure in your system. you will also has much worse temperature control in your engine.
I was looking at the 2004 Ford F-350 diesel supplement and it shows that the engine cooling system capacity is 27.5 U.S. quarts ( that includes the heater and the 5 quarts in the reservoir ) It came from the factory with a 50 / 50 mix of distilled water and antifreeze So for a 50 / 50 mix you would need approximately ( 3.5 gallons of antifreeze )

Prestone extended life diesel antifreeze(red) sold at tractor supply.4 jugs antifreeze + 4 jugs distilled water(sold at the grocery store).flush the cooling system out first(get all the old coolant out first)
It does not mix under normal conditions. If this is happening with your diesel engine you may have engine trouble.
The type of car antifreeze that is safest to the environment is propylene glycol antifreeze. While it is still not totally safe, it is less toxic than other antifreeze.
