I've used both,and have never really seen a differance between de-ionized and distilled water,except price.How is the Chrysler OAT coolant different from this:

OEM’s complete line of custom antifreeze/coolant provides a modern alternative to costly dealership products without sacrificing quality. OEM eliminates the guesswork from choosing the right radiator fluid for your car or truck. By matching you with the right antifreeze the first time, OEM...www.partsource.ca
$32 (CAD) at Parts Source (here in Ontario). That's the concentrated jug. Dillute 50:50 with distilled water to get 2 gallons of coolant.
And here's a rabbit hole for ya - these products always say to cut with de-ionized water (not distilled water). Is distilled water not also de-ionized? I've never gotten a coherent answer, even when I ask on a chemistry board on stack exchange. De-ionized water is expensive compared to distilled water.
Actually have a jug of both in my cabinet,and have been known to mix the 2 together if i don't have enough of 1 or the other
I don't think it really makes a differance in a cooling system,but if you were topping up a battery it might. Back in the day when you could service a battery i did use de-ionized water in them
