Finally got a good cp3 put on my truck and now I am having a belt issue. My belt is not running on the balancer right. It has about a 1/4 inch that runs on the smooth part of it instead of it staying in the groves. I put a new tensioner on right before the cp3 swap. If I put it on the way it should it jumps towards the front once I start the motor. What causes this?

I know I ran a new Napa tensioner and went thru 3 belts then got a GM one all is well.. mine would rub a couple ribs off then blow apart the only diff in the tensioners that I could see was that the GM the belt set in deeper

I just dont understand cause the tensioner is on the opposite side of the balancer and the ac, power steering pulleys and so forth are between the two.
