So, I replaced it with a new serpentine belt and a new belt tensioner. As soon as I started the engine after replacement, I could see the belt still rides off to the side of the belt tensioner pulley. It looks as if the belt tensioner is not exactly in alignment with the harmonic balancer and that perhaps is what is pulling the belt off a bit?
This is an automatic belt tensioner, so I don't think there is a way to align it in any way.
I'm perplexed as what is causing the belt to ride about 1/4" or so off the side of the belt tensioner pulley?
