New flash??

Was wondering if any of you guys feel that getting the most recent flash would have any advantage to my rig or myself. I have an 04, 108k, 100% stock and the buzz flash, as I hear it running for 15sec or so after shutting the rig down. I bought it used and have put almost 10k on it with ZERO issues other than my normal maint. Don't want to start any problems. Somtimes things working are better left alone......?
Thanks,

If you're happy with it, leave it alone. If you start having issues with cold starts and rough idle, THEN go get it reflashed. Just my .02

What has most lekely happened is that your SCT doesn't like your new OEM strategy and there is a fix for it on SCT's website...just download both the Firmware Rev update and the Tune Rev update files and you should be good to go. These updates will like your new OEM flash strategy.
