Whats the best = way to join thermocouple wire to the extension wire?

Crimp!  If you want to have = a disconnect, and it is in the engine compartment (or somewhere where the = temp is somewhat different than at the data module) use the appropriate = connector plug from Omega.

 

And maybe others can back me up = on getting Tracy to go to a crimp pin D-sub at the EM2 25-pin plug rather = than the solder-socket.  I found soldering TC wire to the pins is a real = challenge (even needed some additional flux, and now I worry about corrosion); and soldering those materials doesn’t really form a bond anyway (no = eutectic as with copper or silver), just a mechanical bond.
