Hey guys, hope you all can help. Newly built 2.4l but serpentine belt came off on Saturday had to get towed. New belt put on today but was told it keeps going off track, dont wanna blow my new motor. Need some help, thanks guys in advance.

Are you 2.4 guys using the stock alternator and stock belt size? Didnt have time search forums (at work)

 

Yea I used stock belt/alternator.

Are you doing the belt yourself or having a shop do it?

 

Having a shop do it, we are having issues. Bought the car used so not sure if its a stock alternator etc. Anything I should be telling the shop?

 

I've gotta think with the tension is wrong (unlikely) or the alignment is ****ed. Can you get a laser level on there and check the pulley alignment? Or maybe one of the pulleys is loose causing it to wobble back and forth and walk its way off?

 

I have had issue's with my water pump pulley. But I completely agree with alex, wouldn't be surprised if a pulley is off or bent

 

^yeah I was thinking that....maybe the water pump is on its way out? They can wobble really bad there near the end

 

Thank you, I'll take a look at it. Appreciate the heads up, save me some time and money!
