Default 98 drive belt

i replaced the drive belt on my 98 6.5 b/c the old one was old and tore then new one I drove 45 miles and it did the same it looks like its all lined up but the crank pully its hitting the edge as if the pully isn't on all the way but I checked the bolts all tight is this a serious thing truck runs good no problems other then this thanks

Most belt problems come back to the tensioner but with the belt off spin all the pulleys and make sure they have good bearings ect.
