Default 2004 V6 mustang belt and pullies issue

Hey guys, I have a 2004 V6 Mustang with manual transmission and other than my intake and throttle body, everything is stock. I've owned the car for about 4 months now and gone through three serpentine belts. Originally we(me and the mechanics at my local shop) noticed that the original belt was the wrong one,so they put a new one on, just for it to basically disintegrate within a month. They said the alternator pully was a little crooked so they straightened it and put a new one on. 2 months later its already squeaking and showing signs of damage. I can't help but wonder if its another pully thats causing it, like my tensioner or maybe my compressor pulley. Anyone have any experience with this and any answers? Thanks

Welcome!

Yeah, there could be a problem with one (or more) of the other pulleys. Take the belt off and check them individually. Also make sure that they are all in alignment with one another.
