Serpentine belt issues
I have a v6 99 camaro. For some reason by serpentine belt tends to fall off when it rains. I recently replaced the belt tensioner which was cracked and put a new belt on as well. The belt didn't fall off the first few times I drove in the rain but it happened the other day. Can someone help me? Thanks.

Well, the easy fix would be to not drive in the rain.
Look at your pulleys, with a straight edge/ruler if you can. You might have an out of alignment issue with one of your other pulleys, or maybe one is locking up. And are you absolutely sure you have the right sized belt? If it's too long, there won't be enough tension on the belt. Did you feel a good amount of force on the belt tensioner when you installed the belt? Needless to say though, the belt flying off ain't supposed to happen, rain or shine.
