Hi guys, so I am having an issue with sudden overheating. My jeep overheated pretty bad last summer, so about two months ago I replaced the fan clutch, AC electrical fan and the belt and did a full coolant flush and the jeep has been running great with cold AC and the needle never going above half. Then today on my drive home it crept up to the halfway mark and I smelled what I think is a burning rubber smell. Then at stoplights the temp kept climbing until I started driving, and then it would go back to the halfway point but not lower. I popped the hood when I got home and the belt is spinning fine and the burning rubber smell is still kind of noticeable but not over powering, and I am not leaking any coolant anywhere that I can see. Any ideas? Did the water pump possibly fail? I also changed the thermostat when I did the other fixes.
