I just lost my second belt thursday night at Lowes. It went the same way as the first which only lasted about 2000 miles. About a third of the belt got shredded around the Fan hub. When i had it replaced the first time i was not charged a dime and they replaced the tensioner pulley.
I have the all inclusive, zero deductable warranty from dodge and my truck has just over 50,000 miles. The dealer called me and said they had to order a new pulley (not sure which one) and i would have to pay $280 for troubleshooting and a new belt. I also had to go all the way down to BWI to get a rental car which i had to drive to New Hampshire yesterday.
All i can say is that dealer is getting an earful when i get back and i better get reimbursed for my rental which is included in the extended warranty. It's to bad because i had my truck towed pretty far to a dealer i thought i could trust.
P. S My belt has never chirped
