If a belt is going to break it will do it within the first few hundred miles or somewhere north of 100 thousand miles. There might be nothing wrong, maybe you just had a defective belt. If everything is straight, all bearings turn smooth and the tensioner is not maxed out or anything then just try a new belt. Get a goodyear or other good quality unit.
