    The carbon emission calculation is based almost exclusively on mpg saved.

    Egr is to reduce nox, but it does so at the cost of more carbon emission... (energy expended)

    Depending on what the stretched vehicle does, its going to be 50% more polluting (taller the load/trailer) to absolutely dead average.

    Basically you mount a valve under the truck and the additional stick becomes a lever to move the valve.

    Well if you think about it. Trees need co2 they convert it to oxygen. So you are really doing the world a favor and green peace should recognize this humanitarian effort.

    I misread your post. I thought you said it is how you shift a triplex. I see now you said isn’t.

    This extended frame job made a pretty nice touch to this old workhorse.

    So, we can add a second situation to where a super stretch is practical, annoying the eco-wackos. :cool:
