Have not been aroumd for a while so a big hello to everyone
Don't drive the truck much. But a couple days ago I used to to go to a job
Sitting waiting I notices a burning rubber smell then it some squeaking sound. At first I thought it was my fan clutch
Then I notices the engine temp up so I shut it down right away
Smoke under the hood. Checked it was coming from the belt next to idler pulley
Let it cool took belt off next day checked water pump ( spins nicely ) checked AC bearing seems ok
Power steering ok. Belt tens pulley ok. Idler pulley bearing a little rough but spins freely
At 190 000 kilometers I have changed almost everything on this truck but the thermostat
But if it was a thermostat why would belt be smoking ? ?
Almost Like something seized causing belt to slip and smoke ?
Ever see this before ? Any ideas ?
