Problem for Chevrolet 1999 Silverado 1500

Noisey and recently smells like rubber. maybe a/c

noisey rubbing sound especially when in gear, even louder with a/c on and recently smells like burnt rubber after short drive and park. maybe a/c bearing or tensioner going out causing smell of burnt rubber? belt needs replacing ,but probably not the source of the noise and cause of smell.

You may have a frozen bearing on the tensioner or belt idler. This will cause the belt to burn and smell. I think you are on the right track. I would remove the belt and spin the idler and adjuster by hand to see that they are free and don't have excessive play in them. Replace as necessary.
