Hi I have 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 with a Cummins diesel and have worn out 4 serpentine belts in 50,000 km. I've checked the pulley alignment and they seem to be straight. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I had a 98 Grand cherokee 5.2L with the same problems. I know its totally different but hang on. There was an aluminum bracket that the power steering pump mounted to that mounted to the engine. The bracket cracked which I did not realize at the time, and I went through 3 belts. The crack was so small and threw off the pulley so little you couldn't tell with the naked eye until you physically viewed the aluminum bracket. Maybe double check the pulley alignment? Cheers
