The truck will be powered by a twin-charged 3.0 L Mercedes OM606 diesel inline-six. Luke built the motor with upgraded rods and valve springs, BorgWarner S300 66 mm turbocharger, Diesel Pump UK exhaust manifold and <a href=\"https:\/\/dieselpumpuk.com\/products\/om606-billet-body-fuel-pump\">billet body fuel pump<\/a>, and a Kenne Bell 2.8 L supercharger. Behind the motor is a Gearstar Pro Series 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission with a manual valvebody sending power to a Currie 9-inch rear end.
