Wow - Makes sense w/ the bracketry. In the event you do have to negotiate the issue of bent brackets, which i would view as a can of worms in trying to bend back correctly, I would suggest great care w/ figuring out exactly how much each accessory pulley needs to be spaced inward or outward...
The pulley was bent inward, shortening length of required belt and putting the Sanden pulley out of alignment or square w the rest of the pulleys - just barely.
ALSO - SUCCESS!!
Two washers in two of the upper mounting points, pushing the Sanden rearward. Two washers roughly = 1 rib.

I believe when my last belt tensioner blew out of the spring housing, the pulley flopped to the passenger...
Hey ACTION,
The Sandin is the trouble pulley. I have never before seen this. I'll either reset the pulley to the correct rib or it will already be correct, but upon start, I'll notice the belt climb just one rib toward the cab (rearward) and ride up there. I'll kill the motor and it will...
I certainly don't intend on driving it this way, however, I'll reset and correct the belt placement then upon starting motor - climbs over that rib every single time. Belt seems stable once it climbs over that one rib - but still not correct. Still troubleshooting. If anyone else has any...
I've having the identical issue w/ the 6.5 1123 w/ reddot AC. Did the new belt (micro V 25 NAPA) fix the rib-jumping issue? Always placed correctly then upon start, immediately jumps a rib.
