Most often that's caused by one or more of the pulley's being misaligned. Check the alternator, Power Steering pump and any other pulley that may be out of alignment. If anyone has recently worked on the alternator, power steering or whatever, make sure all of the braces were put back in place. That's probably the most common reason for allowing a pulley to bend out of alignment.

What would cause your 99 Mazda protege to repeatedly shred altinator water pump belts?
also, we've checked for wobbling/cracked pulleys, they're all lined up (with belts on and off.) no overheating or low battery while belts are on. belts squeel during start up and acceleration for a few minutes, then it stops. also, squeeling is worse when the air conditioning is on. but that is a separate belt, and that is not the belt that is shredding. (a/c and powersteering are on one belt, water pump and alternator are on a separate belt) please help!!!!! I'm frustrated.
Can shredding cause short outlets?
Shredding paper should not cause short circuits in outlets. However, if paper or debris gets stuck in an outlet while shredding, it could potentially create a fire hazard. It's important to keep outlets clear and exercise caution when using shredders near electrical sources.

You have a 1985 winnebago motorhome with a 454 Chevy engine where can you find a diagram for the belts you keep breaking belts and have no diagrams or rhymes or reasons for this - help please?
Check to see that all belts are tightened to factory specs. Too tight or too loose and they will break. Check the alignment of the pulleys. One out of alignment will cause this. Check the tensioner idler pulley if equipped. Installing incorrect type belts will also cause this. Refer to the link below for the diagram. If you have a serpentine belt it replaces the V-belt in (3) of the diagram. If you have the upper smog pump fitted it is powered from the power steering pulley.

Will bad tire rods cause shaking while driving?
Worn tie rod ends will cause loose steering, and therefore drifting from side to side, and can also cause shaking. There are many other causes of shaking or vibration, but none of them are good. Get the problem repaired before you end up in the ditch, or worse.I also noticed you used the term "tire" rods rather than "tie" rods, and might be referring to tire cords or belts. Broken cords or belts in a tire will cause the entire wheel to be out of balance and will therefore cause shaking. A tire with broken cords or belts is extremely unsafe and should be replaced immediately.
What would cause a serpentine belt to come off?

Will changing the alternator and removing the belts put stress and wear on the belts?
Changing the alternator or removing and installing the belt should not cause excessive stress or wear on the belts.
Why would the serpentine belt on a 2001 Tahoe squeal?
Incorrect tension, or contamination. A bad bearing in the alternator, A/C compressor, etc will cause excessive stress on the belt, and it will squeal as is slides over the stiff parts. Also, serpentine belts are very sensitive to grease or oil. DO NOT use traditional V-belt dressing on a serpentine belt. The least it will do is squeal. At worst, it will pop off while the engine is running and you're under the hood looking at something. They have quite the bite when they let go.
Would a worn serpentine belt cause your fuel not burn?
No, there is no connection.
