It goes from the lift pump to the hpfp, then gets pressurized from to about 5000 psi at idle to 25000 psi at higher power settings, you can bet it does heat up, how much I don't know. Don't most duramax trucks have a fuel cooler?
I do know that on Boeing airplanes, the hydraulic fluid only...
Think about it for a minute. With a sump you will have a lot less room for the fuel to move around in. Less likely to slosh out, and rapidly refilled when the fuel sloshes back to the other side. This would only be a concern when close to empty. And when moving at a stable rate, it's the same as...
I would guess then that your fueling is off some. In your tune, if it has overheated enough times I would also suspect head gaskets. Someone else asked earlier about the bypass line for egr cooler, you did add one and not just block it off correct?
I forget cause I don't have one, but does the 300 blackout fit the 5.56 or the .308 lowers? If it's the 5.56, then a 300 blackout magnum for the .308 might be the thing.
You will need to use your harness. From the lb7. Modifications will need to be made. Never done the swap, but a few on here and other forums have. I've seen it recommended to use same year model for swap as it's easier.
Do you have a scanner that will show desired vs actual fuel rail pressure. Make sure your lift pump is actually working. If it is it could be you high pressure pump. It could also be your fuel pressure regulator sticking open, then as it sits slowly closing.
You will probably need the MP808. You need one that does bidirectional testing. Research it very good first.

Get an infrared thermometer and make sure the sender is right. Had a problem on friends boat where it showed it was over heating, but when I put my thermometer on it it showed close to thermostat readings, changed gauge and no more overheating.
