well your altinator pully was probably streched n worn, and when it came off took the other one with it.

just replace them, check your pullys tho.. the v in one of them could be stuffed.

yea check all your pulleys as they my not be spining around and causing the belts to stretch and rip off. also check to see if your water pump is spinning aswell, as it could rust and stop spinning.

hope that helps.

have you checked the belts condition? If the multi ribbed belts have any cracks or chunks taken out of them, replace it. It was probably a sign that your belts were too worn or not tensioned properly anyway.

while your at it, you should learn how to spell :roll:

belts do wear, and break, and if the pulleys are aligned incorrectly it will make the belts 'walk' off
