Anything to do with rail pressure isn't going to cause timing rattle.

Sounds like you're plugging it in backwards at the sensor. Not sure if you're aware but those plugs will go in backwards and appear to fit correctly.

I haven't had any problems with my Quad RP gauge...yet.

If your truck is running and you just unplugged the r/p gauge, the truck starts running rough and sounds like terrible timing rattle. This is the same thing that happens to me with the Quad r/p plugged up. Phil (Mcmopar) on here was with me once when it started doing it. Probably just a bad connector or soulder connection, but this is the second gauge I have had trouble with. Just wish the quality was up a little.

The Quad display can be difficult to read if it's really bright outside, especially if the sun is shining onto it. Probably not a problem if it's mounted under the dash in a dark spot, but frustrating with an instrument cluster mount like this:
