Default Stock Boost Gauge - Longevity?

Well I'm off to the dealer to pick up my car after puting in the 3rd boost gauge.
Seems they start to rattle/buzz and dont show the propper boost.
Also show 10in vacuum when off.
How many people have replaced their gauges???

BTW - these gauges suck, Hey Dodge you listening?

dodge needs to send a memo to their dealers that these srt boost gauges suck. they ought to replace em with the 30/30 srt gauge.

Mine broke right after i bought the car and dont want to hassle with the dealer. ide rather change it out my self. i dont trust dealer techs. i worked at a dealership and they dont respect customers cars. if they fuck something up they hide it and wont notify you and then blame the problem on the customer.

I was fine with my stock gauge for 6 months. Just yesterday i changed to the 30/30 SRT gauge that Modern sells an dill tell you what...the stock gauge is a piece of crap. Im getting proper readings now fromt his gauge and i couldnt be happier.

I cant vote because my stock guage is broken but I've had it like that for 3 months now. I am going to replace it with a better guage in a month or so
