Re: serpentine wears out fast
Is this a 3400 or a 2200?
Look for fluids getting onto the belt causing it to slip. Also work the tensioner back and forth and make sure that it moves only laterally, and not in and out when you move it back and forth.

Re: serpentine wears out fast
I did check for fluid and can't find any although I do not have a good view of the crank I had alreadyt worked the tensioner and it is fine and it is a 3400
