New strategy or no?

Hey guys, I been thinkin about updating the trucks strategy to combat things like stiction and such. What do you guys think about it?
Not sure what strategy I have now, only thing I do know is the injectors tick for 10-15 seconds or so after I shut the engine down.

My truck had the newest flash for the 03 & 04 trucks. It runs and starts perfect. And I'm getting about 18mph mixed.

That's the buzz flash that international implemented for injector stiction before Ford came up with the inductive heat flash. The only thing "bad" about that flash was that it was "embarassing" for some folks. If you're getting good fuel mileage and not having injector or starting problem I'd let it stay.
