There may be a compatibility issue. It says "compatible only with Fireboard Pro 2". I would check with them. TC's are classified by type of metal (J, K, T, etc.) so just knowing it's a thermocouple doesn't give you enough information.
FWIW I tried to loosen the probe screws and they were frozen solid. I was concerned about stripping the Phillips head.

They say fireboard pro 2 because that's the only thermometer they have that has rtd connectors.. the d2 drive board has this connector

Did you use the Traeger or Fireboard? So long as mine remains functional (to start up and run the grill) I'll keep it and use my two Fireboard probes to maintain the temps.

If it aint broke.....

Sorry…..free replacement from Traeger. At first I was thinking you were just asking if it was a difficult task

Nah. I wanted to use a different type of one with the traeger main board
