Odds are the coolant will test to -40F but the anti-corrosion additives were depleted years ago.
Most parts stores have corrosion inhibiter additives and water pump lube.
A ph test strip will show coolant acidity and that's what ate through the sleeve.
The shock waves and cavitation from diesel combustion just makes the errosion/corrosion process faster.
The money saved by not regularly changing the coolant is less than a set of sleeves.
Don't use tap water to mix with the coolant. it's full of calcuim, lime, iron etc. Distilled water is cheap to mix with coolant.
