Pyro thermocouples

[xohcef]

So I have an old set of R&W products gauges and the egt hasn't worked since the truck was driven home 5 months ago. I've been searching new egt/pyro gauges but have also found j, k t, whatever type thermocouples for sale how so I go about determining which one might fix my existing gauge?

Most are type k. How to tell... Idk. Maybe look it up our call the manufacturer?

Problem is I've searches and can't even get r and w to come up at all In a google search.

Most U.S made gages are type K's. Japan made gages are type J mostly.

Look at the wire colors on the thermo lead. A light yellow/ red is a type K. It might be best to remove some of the cover wire to find the colors. A type J uses a white/red combo. Old faded wire covering for a type K can look white.
