EGT suddenly going up

I have a 04.5 113K miles, with edge attitude programmer. Last week I pulled out onto the highway got up to 60 and immediately got a high EGT alarm. EGTs were at 1350. It ran between 900 and 1250 for about 10 miles on level road then went back to normal. This happened again this week. Does this sound like a bad sending unit in the exhaust manifold or could something else be happening.

Always look at the simple things first like maybe a dirty airfilter?

I will have to see if I can get a new pyro, put it in and see if it solves the problem.
Thanks for the replies.

Everything else was normal. No smoke, no change in power or sound. The pyro sensor is as least 4 years old so I guess it will be on my nickle.
