alright i have a 2001 ram 1500 v6. i just got it a few days ago and drove it 150 miles home no problem. the next day it threw the belt and stripped a few skinny pieces off. i got a new belt and instantly did the same thing. any suggestions?

 

sounds like a pulley bearing may have went and the pulley is wobbling, making the belt come off.

 

alright i'll take the belt off and feel them. how hard of fix is that?

 

id check all the pulley's for alignment somethings out and its an easy fix normally

 

just eye ballin it, it looks like all the pulleys are in line. is there another way you can check

 

I forgot the actual name for it but maybe the auto tension part of the idler pulley is done?

 

like the auto tensionor isnt putting enough tention?

 

yea, maybe that could be the problem? just a guess, I don't have any experience with belts being thrown but that sounds like a possibility to me if all the pulleys are looking good.

 

is there any noises bc i had a ider pully that went bad and it would throw the belt off
