Serpentine belt problems
After two belts one after replacing it three weeks ago and the other broke in the same day. I noticed the belt was splitting long ways and not across so I replaced again and after letting it run shortly I looked at the belt and saw that it was hanging half off the fan pulley. Has anyone else seen this and what could be the cause?

First I would start by not posting 4x with different titles. Add pics. And now on to your question. Check the alignment of the pulleys and check the smoothness of pulleys. It's really not that hard or many parts involved

Like everyone else says, post once. Not 7 times on the same subject.

Thank you pelican and once again I am sorry for posting so many times. Every time I was posting my phone said error thread already exist. So I changed the name and reported it as it wasn't showing up on my thread. So sorry. But I was afraid it might be my balancer. So why I asked people who might know. Sorry again.
