What type of coolant are you running

Any of the universal, long life green coolants should do the trick in a 50/50 mix
There is a heat wave coming so I'll be using Bud Light as a coolant this weekend......100%
After doing some research on this and talking to the mechanic I use for the fleet of work trucks (all Silverado 2500's) I manage, I'm planning to run the yellow universal all make, all model compatible long life coolant in my GP. I intend to run it 50/50 with distilled water or I'll just buy the 50/50 pre-mixed. This is what I'm running in my 08 GMC already. The mechanic I use for the work trucks flushed the coolant in my truck when my health was bad and I wasn't up to doing it and he switched it over at that time. He runs this stuff in everything and has had zero issues. We plan to run it in Dad's 62 Galaxie and we are considering switching the LS swapped 78 Z28 over to it as well. We had Prestone Dexcool in the Galaxie for years but we recently suffered a heater core/heater control valve failure in it that the Dexcool is getting blamed for. The Camaro has Prestone Dexcool in it right now.
I was reading an article he other day that stated distilled water is actually bad for coolant system bc in distillation it removes ionization and the water will start to strip minerals from block to compensate
from a mad scientist...
"distilled water naturally ionizes into H30+ and OH-, hence is conductive. There is no way to prevent this kind of ionization-- there's no such thing as non-conductive water"
