Sounds like its a design issue with the bracket. Tiff doesn't have that problem with her QMP-style kit, but I built the alt. bracket from scratch and made sure the belt is well clear of the thermostat.

I've never replaced a belt. I guess it's the kit you buy.

which alternator bracket do you have?
if they are off just a slight bit they can throw a belt or chew one up. I have made a couple that were off just a slight bit, i had the people send them back to me and i re-aligned them and they reportably work better then
the one i use for my self is close to the thermostat housing but does not touch, also i have noticed some thermostat housings are slightly different from eachother, the one i got from autozone is smoother and has more clearance from the belt.
any pictures of your problem?
