No, your ECU will go to open loop and you'll run full rich and loose power.

If you're using it strictly off-road, you might want to consider simplifying by converting to a carburetor.
A number of people have done it and report fewer issues and better mileage, though for a ranch truck I don't suppose mileage matters that much.
