Repeated belt failures screems that something is badly wrong. I have seen alternators sieze, blow the belt, release and seem to be ok when you get pulled over to change the belts. If it is this way it will generaly have a loose front or rear bearing or make noise when spun. Have seen a seized solid fan clutch do this blow the belt routine. On a lot of these fan clutch equeped units the fan never locks up. The only time that stress gets put on is if the fan clutch fails. Water pump bearing failures see the alternator above. By the way what brand belts are you using? I have seen people try to use low stress industrial belts in automotive aplications and have failures like this. Good Luck |
