It the EGT sensor a common failure? No codes on that (yet).

That's all on the driver bank. Swap ignition amplifiers to see if they go to 1-3.

That which you swapped - the amplifiers :) I actually haven't heard of them going...

bad on people but apparently it can be an issue. I think the contact betweeen the metal plate and amplifier can get corroded and so it's recommended to polish it from time to time. However, I'm of the thinking - "if it ain't broke then don't fix it"...kinda like the rear main seal replacement - ask SAC-S4 about that.

Anyway, amplifiers just one idea. Anything that services the driver bank could be an issue.
