Below is the stratagy that I have now does it have inductive heating. Trying to figure out if I need to order it when I send my FICM/ECM in for a rollback. I live in Virginia and we have some pretty cold winters. I'm not having any cold start issues but don't know if the current stratagy has inductive heating.

The inductive heating is built into the FICM; the strategy numbers you gave are for the ECM/TCM. However, seeing as though you have the latest (but far from greatest) Ford strategies in the ECM, it's very likely that you have Ford's latest inductive heating strategy as well.

You have it. When the flash that gave you VXCF9 came out the dealer had to flash the FICM, IDS did not give them an option.(IDS used to give an option on whether or not the tech needed to flash the FICM when they flashed the PCM).
That being said, it’s not supposed to be as bad of a FICM killing flash as the VXCF5 original HI flash was.....but only time will tell.
I'd still have Bill flash it though, just for the mpg.

Will there be any performance gains from the rollback. I've read on some of the Powerstroke forums about people saying they had better performance.
Thanks

Some, yes.
