Had thought about that ... hadn't taken it any further. I still have a NIB Delco inline lift pump from the 6.5L days, would that provide enough flow?

It should, at OEM to moderate fueling levels. It should work, at least, for test purposes. JK has the stuff, though (on my Christmas list). A test shouldn't be too difficult, and you wouldn't have to hard-wire or fail-safe it for the testing. If it doesn't help, you're only out some time and a little change for wiring and line coupling. If it does work, you're well ahead.
The p0087s were all produced at stock fueling levels, and a 6.6L doesn't use much more fuel than a 6.5L, right - if your loaded mileage is the same?

Technically, correct. However, not all the fuel pumped actually finds a cylinder. Both engines use the fuel for lubricant and coolant, and return a significant portion to the tank. I don't know which returns more. I don't know which carries more heat, but my truck, even in Winter, will show a hot running fuel temp of 140°+. I've never observed the fuel temp or return rates of a 6.5 system, so I can't compare. I don't know if it even matters, one way or another. I do know several folks who have installed, and are currently running, a 6.5 OEM pump, or similar aftermarket, successfully on LB7's.
