Consider yourself lucky--I replaced mine after 3 months with a 35 PSI autometer gauge. Mine was at -8 PSI when off...most of the stock gauges have problems. Dodge was willing to fix it, but I already bought one that is a boost only gauge (no vacuum). No problems with this one :D

had car since 11/26/05 boost gauge to a crap gauge read 10 on the vac side.took it to the dealer tey fixed it. jus got my car back yesterday and all is well.
<~~~Broken boost gauge since the day I rolled my car off the lot. Had it replaced 4 times...Then went and bought a 30/30 Autometer Gauge and now that crapped out on me too. I'm just gonna give up and guess what my boost is from now on.

The biggest problem with these gauges are they are mechanical gauges. Even if you buy the 30/30 mechanical gauge, you may run into the same problme (as you have munkysrt).
Save a little extra cash and opt for the electrical boost gauge and you should never have a problem.

That's what I originally wanted to do but at the time I was running more boost than the stock gauge would show me so I needed a quick fix so to speak. I didn't think it would crap out on me this soon tho. Oh well live and learn...Hey Hozay whats up with your companies site...I'm looking for a turbo kit and supporting mods and your site is down?!?
Got a number I can call to speak to someone...I'll be ready to order either Monday or Tuesday right after xmas. PM me please. Thank. Jay
