Simx from cutler, IL info?

O ring on the head might have a crack in it. Have someone check head gasket....and pay special attention to the little rubber O rings.

Seen that happen alot. However based on what you are talking about I would check the oil cooler first. Have it pressure tested.

 

^^^^^ Man, I thought I was TOTALLY losing my old mind, .... or just missing something NEW in the industry!!! HAHAHAHAHA.... THANKS for the laugh, guys!!!!
PS.. Sorry I can't help you on SIMX ...... sorry darkmaj!

 

Any info I'd have on them would be 12 or 13 years old. My mistake was taking TOO MUCH pride in what I did, which meant completing the job. One customer had a product that just wouldn't flow...might take 3-5 hours to empty your trailer. Heck, might have been the junk trailers they had back then. First trip I made to that customer with the dedicated trailer, my EMPTY weight was almost 50,000# because of the product the previous driver hauled back. You see, too many OTHER drivers would hook up, blow off for an hour or two, then quit and head back with whatever was still in the trailer. Customer complemented me, and from then on, I was stuck on that run because their customer liked seeing me show up and knowing they were getting ALL of the product they had paid for. Didn't pay ME nearly enough for the time involved, though, and I asked several times to get off that run. Never happened, so I took an hourly gig hauling logs with full benefits, nearly doubling the size of my paycheck.

Since then, they've upgraded their equipment. They were decent people to deal with back then, even got a ride home from the safety guy when I tendered my resignation.

It may work out well for you there, it may not...same as anywhere else. It all depends upon what you're looking for and what they have to offer these days. Like I said, it's been a while since I was there, so there's no telling what all has changed or what might still be the same.
