Default Belt is chattering

My serp belt at like 3.5k RPM will start to chatter and actually some times jump. The tensioner is still very stiff, replaced its pulley and the stationary one. Working on a 98 GT. Most of this started when we had slight flooding and I had to drive through some kinda high water, probably little above bumper (car lowered an inch). Any suggestions for a fix?

Yes I just replaced the pulleys and not the tensioner. Just replaced the harmonic balancer and that cleared up the problem. No the A/C clutch sqeaks haha, never ending with water...FML. Thanks for the help guys!
