Serpentine belt shredded.... dang it!

So my serpentine belt shredded, so I end up replacing my water pump, and also since there was a coolant leak i replaced the thermostat housing assembly. now that the serpenine belt is on, the tensioner pulls in place, the water pump installed, and thermostat housing installed, I await not having an issue where i am getting a lot of smoke, and a rubber burning smell when I turn it on. Any Ideas on what to check next?

Keep an eye out for oil leaks now. I had a belt shred and it took out my front crankshaft seal.

The original poster only has this one post, and it was back in August. There is a likelihood they won't return here at this point. If you're still stuck, you might want to create your own post with your own specifics if you're trying to solve a problem.

Yes I did figure this out... now i have new issues...

with the amount of oil that was leaking, I finally replaced as many seals as i could get to and got it all to stop leaking....

But now I was driving on the interstate, and getting onto the off ramp everything felt fine, and then all the sudden, my transmission won't engage, the car will go into gear, but it will not even think about going into gear... I have seen a few other posts about the same thing but no one ever answers... there was no warning, and no issues just came straight outta nowhere
