Coolant fluid ?? diesel vs gas??
I just bought some 50/50 coolant mix for my cummins 8.3 diesel engine. The auto parts store said there's no difference in coolant between diesel and gas engines. Is this true? Any recommendations...

I have excellent results with Mercedes coolant, that is not labeled for diesels.
Should not use it on wet sleeves, but I have been running it on all my Powerstrokes for last decade and Mercedes made a formula that keeps engines much cooler.
To the degree that with my pickup I tow 15,000 lb trailer in 90F weather and the engine fan is not coming on till I hit steep grade.
Lot of people shy from Mercedes parts assuming they are expensive, but I am buying the coolant from local MB dealer for $19, while green stuff around here sells for $15.
