Twice in the past two months it's thrown the serpentine belt. Tensioner moves normally and the belt doesn't appear glazed. What should I be looking for?
The only contributing factor could be water splash from a puddle...but the splash guard is still in place so I'm not sure that's a part of it.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Richard
I haven't seen this question come up in a long time, but it used to appear quite often. I believe the answer is some problem with the idler pulley being out of plane - requires replacement or shiming or something. Do a Google search on this ng and you should find the answer several times (or some nice person who really knows the answer will post it).

I had seven belts replaced, they replaced the belt tensioner 2 times, replaced the AC compressor once a pulley then they went to a tech service bulletin for a 1999 Chrysler that told them to replace the main bracket that bolts to the engine part number 4612412. That worked been good since June of
