In a prior thread the number for the coolant additive was pf-22 from ford I found VC8 is this the same?

Don't forget to change the recovery bottle pressure cap. I cannot emphasize that enough. The caps lose their ability to hold system pressure and bad things happen inside the block (hot spots) without the system pressurized. You need that pressure to raise the boiling point of the coolant to mitigate any hot spots.
7.3 are basically bullet proof except for the powdered metal rod engines but even those will run almost forever so long as you don't over fuel them. My 97 has forged rods. I could crank it up to 500 horse if I wanted to but I see no need. Fine where it is. Always has been.
Good engines. Much more reliable than the new Tier 4 DEF/DPF/ICM controlled messes. Nothing much to fail and parts are inexpensive.
I'd suggest doing a turbo pedestal delete but that is for another time.
