Does your Di pricol Optix boost gauge make a vibrate/rattle noise??
I bought some used Di pricol Optix gauges and I really like the pyrometer, but the 35psi boost gauge vibrates/rattles when ever I boost up quick. It's not super loud but it's very annoying.(it's really annoying with the cruise on because it rattles every time the truck adds speed) My Isspro boost gauge on my 01 never made a sound.
I know I should have a 60PSI gauge but I got a sweet deal on them used, do you think the 35psi makes noise because it moves too fast for the gauge??
I was thinking the 60psi would not have to move so fast or far????
what do you guy's think??
I searched and found some threaded but not much help.
Thanks

i have a 60PSI Di pricol Optix and it did not make any noise when i first put it in, then a week later i unhooked it to install my EGT and Trans temp, now it makes a ticking noise.
so i think maybe its a leak because i did not use new Brass fitting when i put it back together so maybe you got a leak in your connection.

I have probably installed atleast 25 Di-Pricol boost gauges and have had to replace 4 of them due to that rattle noise while boosting. It doesn't matter if you have a 0-30 or 0-60 i have had the noise in both!!

*update*
I called them today and asked about the rattle they told me they have had a few problems with some of the boost gauges and if I send it in they will fix it and send it out the same day I am impressed with the service, I did not expect it to be so easy!

mine rattles when the exhaust brake is on and decelerating. if di-pri will fix it without any issues, I will have to call them too. they were great when my pyro was not behaving.

Anyway, now I am pretty much set on getting the Optix, so I hope they work out as well as my Isspros did.

The new Optix series is pretty sweet I like the look of the optix over all (way better then the old Dipricol's IMHO) but when I got them was a little disappointed because the pyro looked awesome at night, but the boost gauge put off a purple tint from under the middle of the gauge needle. I asked Dipricol about this when I talked to them, they said that they look different because one is mechanical and one is electric and that if I install a dimmer that it should take care of the purple tint.
I am going to try the dimmer and see what happens.........
