I have a 96 bronco, and can't keep the fan belt on. My water pump went out. Had it changed, and ever since the fan belt keeps coming off... destroying everything. Could the belt be getting put on backwards? any other suggestions?

I would suspect that one of the pulleys is out of line.
Stand at the side of the truck, look across the face of the pulleys, does one look out of place when compared to the others?
Was any thing else replaced when the w/pump was done? (ie tensioners, idler pulley etc?)

I agree, it definately sounds like a alignment problem or the belt tensioner idler pully. It is possible tht an idler pully is shot and needs sreplacement.
Good Luck,

I have a '90, '93 and '94 Broncos. The '94 had the same problem over a three year period. The previous owner had the AIR pump changed. The pulley was put on backwards and was just out of line enough to tear up the serpentine belt every two years or so. I removed the pulley(SOP loosen and/or tighten the bolts with the serpentine belt on, then remove the belt and then remove the pulley).
The "Front" of the pulley is labelled, but hard to see. Once properly installed, all pulleys line up.
