Is My Flash good?

Got to wondering, having some cold engine start issues...well not too bad when the weather is really cold my truck sounds funny for about 30 seconds.

I run bone stock tune...my tuner says my flash is:
VXCF1DG TQCJ0DW

Wondering if I need a new flash

Here is a vid of my cold start. I have ordered some rev-x to see if that helps.

YouTube - F250 Cold start

Thoughts?
