Default High And Random EGTs

Running Edge w. Attitude on 5x3- been running it like that for a while with no concerns. Driving the other day empty cruising about 65 mph my EGTs were about 800 then spiked to 1300 then to 1600 then back to 755- boost about 8-10. This has happened very randomly a few time. Also occasionally idling it will stay about 500-550 and not cool down for my turbo timer (set at 400) to shut my truck down. Could this be a bad EGT sensor or the start to a larger problem? I'm cleaning my afe filter tonight as it looks a little dirty. I'm planning on taking this truck from tx to nc at the end of the month so want to get any issues resolved! Thanks!

Dangerous knows his stuff! I did trace connections so you assumed correctly- I bought the unit used so it's got some miles on it- only $42 for the probe shipped to my door from edge that's why I wasted no time!
