    2005 5.0 gxi-b belt jumped and wiped out,

    the waterpump(circulator pump) pulley is twice as wide as the others, the belt sat flush on the pulley and did not hang over so what you see as out of alignment i believe is just the extra wide surface. regardless i hae a new pulley to install. i will check the pump for loosener though
