How it happened? The tensioner pulley is worn out. Replace it.

Thats what I thought but seems wierd that all the sudden just gave out but I guess anything is possible. It probably is the factory one I have an 1998 Dodge Ram SST she has been great just had this bad luck.
Thank you very much Viper37 for your help!

Love the site..
