Sucks that you had to waist all that time because of their screw up....Anyways I think you should be fine. I can't remember all the technical names of the coolants but the old green and the yellow I believe are interchangeable with each other. The yellow is just less toxic and more environmentally friendly. Now, if you truck was newer (say 2008 or newer) I would be worried. Ford fills those with a coolant that is more gold in color. This coolant is NOT compatible with any of the two other coolants. I think there might be a better explanation of this in your owner’s manual.
Good luck!
Good luck!
