New problem with not much being posted for information. Got some info on what you have done or where you seem to be losing the belt. I know the belt does not have much room to run. One poster had excessive end play in the crank and was burning belts, Ford replaced the engine. If your pitching the belt off that would be alignment from a pulley being out of run.

This truck here has shredded the belt 3 times in a 1000 miles.
It has been to 2 different garages because of it. Last winter it did the same thing twice.
They have aligned the pulley all times it has been there.

My Tech told me 100,000 on the belt before I needed to worry.....I have 75,000 to go to see if he is right.
You do have a problem with 3 belts in 1,000 miles. 2 dealers
3rd one might be the one to help you. When you find a good Tech, consider him a keeper and buy your next truck from that dealer.
