P2043 Code & DEF/DPF delete?
Hey Everyone,
I am looking at a truck to take to Mexico. I am concerned about the lack of availability of ULSD in Mexico so have limited my search to older trucks until this morning.
Today I ran across what MAY be a good buy for me on a 2011 Ford. It is showing a P2043 code.
Will using a programmer to delete/disable the DEF & DPF clear the code?
I am thinking that these are not required in Mexico and are the parts that demand ULSD. If I delete them will the computer ignore the failing heater/sensor?
Thanks.

The question remains.... Will the DPF delete address the code?

I found a thread on another board that gives the impression that when you program the delete that you can remove the DEF tank. I am guessing that would indicate that a failing sensor will be ignored.
I am reluctant to purchase the truck based on my best guess that the delete kit will resolve the CEL & p2043. Just want to make sure before I drop a bunch of $$

I am not familiar with that one. The MiniMax appeared to be a popular choice among folks posting.
I would welcome any advice regarding programmer choice. My goals are: DEF/DPF delete, fuel mileage improvement, modest HP gain and gauges.
