2000 F250 7. 3 ZF6 AutoMind 2

"My 2000 F250 7. 3 ZF6 was only rated at 230HP from the factory. I was looking for something to add a little bit of power, I just wanted something to get it close to the 275HP that the last year model of the 7. 3 produced. I have also never liked how the throttle pedal behaved from the factory. I decided on the Banks AutoMind 2 because of Banks reputation and quality of products, I have some of their products on my other truck. I have only tried the Tow/Work tune so far and it has given me exactly what I was looking for. It gave me enough power that the truck feels lighter, faster, and more responsive. It seems to have improved the behavior of the throttle pedal too. It will smoke a little more than I expected from a banks tune (especially just the tow/work level) under certain conditions, but if you are very smooth with the throttle it will run clean and performs very well. If you want to wake up your 7. 3 I would highly recommend."

2003 f250 7. 3 with tune and intake

"The banks automind 2 programer and banks cold air intake woke up the old 7. 3. The truck runs and shifts a lot smoother. I’m able to pull my 14 foot dump trailer with ease fully loaded and the truck even idles better. I’m extremely happy with my purchase."

"Yup this Bank automind Programmer tuner woke up my 2007 F250 6. 0 Powerstroke. My truck is Fully stock & anyone who knows one of these know how slow they are . Oh the transmission is shifting faster & smoother & the throttle response 👌. Definitely Recommend buying this for any 6. 0 thats getting started like me ."

"Automind2 review. 2016 F-350 Platinum 6. 7. Easy install, about 20 Minutes total. I have noticed already a mileage improvement of 3 mpg city, and 5 mpg highway in economy mode. Initially the first Automind I received was faulty. The RMA was very smooth and fast. My hat is off to the support team, Thank You."

"Picked an unlocked, used Auto Mind for my 2002 F350, 7. 3. Been through all the settings. Definitely runs better on all settings. Trans was shifting kind of weird. Dropping into lower gear and immediately changing. I went into advanced tuning and added 32. 5 for my tire size . . . 285/75/16. Cured it all. Just like that, I have a 23 year old truck that is performing great . . . Driving easy, or if you have to jump on it."

Great Tuner!

"The AutoMind2 Programmer is excellent and has really stepped up my 2015 3. 5 Ecoboost. I wanted to increase the towing capacity of my stock/OEM 3. 5 and this has done the trick for me, all while still keeping a safe margin of reliability. I would recommend this to anyone want to improve their 3. 5 while keeping good reliability at a very affordable price."

'00 F-350 Lariat Banks Items

"I have been a Banks customer since the early 90's. I have always been impressed with their product quality and engineering. My first experience was with a Banks Sidewinder kit on a '92 Ford 7. 3 non-factory turbo truck; man could that truck pull back in the day! I recently added a few Banks items to my '00 F-350 Lariat "project truck", to include a Monster Exhaust, Ram Air and AutoMind 2 programmer. This was money well spent, and the investment did not disappoint! This is a low milage 7. 3 Powerstroke that has been taken care of. The throttle response is now crisp, and the AutoMind 2 totally eliminated the "dead pedal" feel (running the tuner on level 3). It also cleaned up transmission shift points and made downshifts more responsive. The fit and finish of both the monster exhaust and ram air intake were exceptional, and I can really hear the turbo and increased airflow. The truck accelerates easily and has power that it was lacking. 7. 3's were not designed to be fast, but the truck is now fun to drive. It's only been a week since we installed all the parts, so I don't have any mileage or towing performance numbers to share. We own new diesel trucks and old diesel trucks. This is the last restoration project of my three older diesel trucks - '97 Powerstroke, '99 Cummins & '00 PowerStroke. I think many people are rediscovering older diesel trucks after dealing with frustrations over DEF consumption, DPF pluggage and other modern emission items. If it makes you smile, you should go for it, and this truck has put a smile on my face. Thank you Jeff and the Banks team!"

Automind 2

"I purchased the Automind 2 tuner hoping to bump up the power in my lifted F250 and maybe some fuel mileage too. This timer did not disappoint, Super Sport mode you can really feel the difference. So far fuel mileage has not decreased from my usual 16 MPG. I’ll have to try the Economy mode soon to see how that goes. Overall I’m pretty pleased with this tuner."

Q&A

can i use the automind with the derringer tuner installed.
Unfortunately, they cannot be stacked.
Will the auto mind read EGT's on a 2004 6.0
It wont be able to read it. Most vehicles pre-2008 don't report back EGT information.
I have 2 different trucks I want to tune. 2011 f150 and a 2017 f150, can use the tuner on both trucks at the same time?
Automind will tune only one truck at a time. It cannot tune multiple vehicles.
Will this work with other Aftermarket add-ons from other companies like Cold Air Intake? If so, will it compensate for new MAF values?
Yes, the AutoMind 2 tuner works great with all aftermarket intake systems because the truck's ECM is still free to make MAF adjustments as necessary.
I just bought the programmer today and was reading through the manual before it got delivered. How do I know my truck wasn’t tuned by the previous owner? Should I just go ahead and get it reflashed? It is a 1999 7.3L with a 2000 motor. No obvious tune IMO, it is very unresponsive and does not seem like the shift points are altered but I’m not ABSOLUTELY sure.
The easiest way to tell if the truck was tuned it to have your local dealer give it a good once over. If needed, they can reflash the ECM to stock.

If it makes you smile, you should go for it, and this truck has put a smile on my face. Thank you Jeff and the Banks team!"

Automind 2

"I purchased the Automind 2 tuner hoping to bump up the power in my lifted F250 and maybe some fuel mileage too. This timer did not disappoint, Super Sport mode you can really feel the difference. So far fuel mileage has not decreased from my usual 16 MPG. I’ll have to try the Economy mode soon to see how that goes. Overall I’m pretty pleased with this tuner."

Q&A

can i use the automind with the derringer tuner installed.
Unfortunately, they cannot be stacked.
Will the auto mind read EGT's on a 2004 6.0
It wont be able to read it. Most vehicles pre-2008 don't report back EGT information.
I have 2 different trucks I want to tune. 2011 f150 and a 2017 f150, can use the tuner on both trucks at the same time?
Automind will tune only one truck at a time. It cannot tune multiple vehicles.
Will this work with other Aftermarket add-ons from other companies like Cold Air Intake? If so, will it compensate for new MAF values?
Yes, the AutoMind 2 tuner works great with all aftermarket intake systems because the truck's ECM is still free to make MAF adjustments as necessary.
I just bought the programmer today and was reading through the manual before it got delivered. How do I know my truck wasn’t tuned by the previous owner? Should I just go ahead and get it reflashed? It is a 1999 7.3L with a 2000 motor. No obvious tune IMO, it is very unresponsive and does not seem like the shift points are altered but I’m not ABSOLUTELY sure.
The easiest way to tell if the truck was tuned it to have your local dealer give it a good once over. If needed, they can reflash the ECM to stock.

2000 F250 7. 3 ZF6 AutoMind 2

"My 2000 F250 7. 3 ZF6 was only rated at 230HP from the factory. I was looking for something to add a little bit of power, I just wanted something to get it close to the 275HP that the last year model of the 7. 3 produced. I have also never liked how the throttle pedal behaved from the factory. I decided on the Banks AutoMind 2 because of Banks reputation and quality of products, I have some of their products on my other truck. I have only tried the Tow/Work tune so far and it has given me exactly what I was looking for. It gave me enough power that the truck feels lighter, faster, and more responsive. It seems to have improved the behavior of the throttle pedal too. It will smoke a little more than I expected from a banks tune (especially just the tow/work level) under certain conditions, but if you are very smooth with the throttle it will run clean and performs very well. If you want to wake up your 7. 3 I would highly recommend."

2003 f250 7. 3 with tune and intake

"The banks automind 2 programer and banks cold air intake woke up the old 7. 3. The truck runs and shifts a lot smoother. I’m able to pull my 14 foot dump trailer with ease fully loaded and the truck even idles better. I’m extremely happy with my purchase."

6. 0 Powerstroke Has Woken Up

"Yup this Bank automind Programmer tuner woke up my 2007 F250 6. 0 Powerstroke. My truck is Fully stock & anyone who knows one of these know how slow they are . Oh the transmission is shifting faster & smoother & the throttle response 👌. Definitely Recommend buying this for any 6. 0 thats getting started like me ."

Great Product

"Automind2 review. 2016 F-350 Platinum 6. 7. Easy install, about 20 Minutes total. I have noticed already a mileage improvement of 3 mpg city, and 5 mpg highway in economy mode. Initially the first Automind I received was faulty. The RMA was very smooth and fast. My hat is off to the support team, Thank You."

F 150 5. 0

"Love it! Already getting 2-3 better mpg. More power to better throttle response. Turned of rev limiter and speed limiter. Better shifting points. Could not be happier. Haven’t gone to 91 sport yet"

Advanced tuning

"Picked an unlocked, used Auto Mind for my 2002 F350, 7. 3. Been through all the settings. Definitely runs better on all settings. Trans was shifting kind of weird. Dropping into lower gear and immediately changing. I went into advanced tuning and added 32. 5 for my tire size . . . 285/75/16. Cured it all. Just like that, I have a 23 year old truck that is performing great . . . Driving easy, or if you have to jump on it."

Great Tuner!

"The AutoMind2 Programmer is excellent and has really stepped up my 2015 3. 5 Ecoboost. I wanted to increase the towing capacity of my stock/OEM 3. 5 and this has done the trick for me, all while still keeping a safe margin of reliability. I would recommend this to anyone want to improve their 3. 5 while keeping good reliability at a very affordable price."

Amazing

"So if you have a 3. 7 Cyclone motor in your F150 you should do two things: Run it on E85 if it can Put a Banks tune in it!!! Seriously happy with the tune, it’s like an entirely different truck. More power to the tires and better shifting too. Worth every penny!!"

'00 F-350 Lariat Banks Items

"I have been a Banks customer since the early 90's. I have always been impressed with their product quality and engineering. My first experience was with a Banks Sidewinder kit on a '92 Ford 7. 3 non-factory turbo truck; man could that truck pull back in the day! I recently added a few Banks items to my '00 F-350 Lariat "project truck", to include a Monster Exhaust, Ram Air and AutoMind 2 programmer. This was money well spent, and the investment did not disappoint! This is a low milage 7. 3 Powerstroke that has been taken care of. The throttle response is now crisp, and the AutoMind 2 totally eliminated the "dead pedal" feel (running the tuner on level 3). It also cleaned up transmission shift points and made downshifts more responsive. The fit and finish of both the monster exhaust and ram air intake were exceptional, and I can really hear the turbo and increased airflow. The truck accelerates easily and has power that it was lacking. 7. 3's were not designed to be fast, but the truck is now fun to drive. It's only been a week since we installed all the parts, so I don't have any mileage or towing performance numbers to share. We own new diesel trucks and old diesel trucks. This is the last restoration project of my three older diesel trucks - '97 Powerstroke, '99 Cummins & '00 PowerStroke. I think many people are rediscovering older diesel trucks after dealing with frustrations over DEF consumption, DPF pluggage and other modern emission items.
