Def delete

Have a 2012 f350 that I don’t put alot of mils on. 42k currently and just went into limp mode 50mph. Debating delete vs getting fixed…had into ford 2x and was told would have to do new wiring harness if mapping didn’t fix def fault codes. Hasn’t regenerated in awhile and def is full. Leaning towards delete but not a tuner type guy…

My dad did his 2012 f250 several years back when it went out of warranty. The mechanic that did it programed it as part of the job.

I would feel better if I possessed the tuner. Would not be the first time a trip to the dealer would include programming the stock tune back in.

He's just asking which way to proceed, not for the name of a shop to have it done at if he goes the delete route.

Sounds like you need a OCR or manual regen possibly... FORscan can be used, an aftermarket software which can do what the Ford IDS does, to trigger one.

My primary Banks iDash can trigger one as well. But certain conditions have to met, like truck at a minimum temp, I forget...

What are the codes?
