I had a serpentine belt break on me and the following day I replaced it with a new one and put it on and two days later the new one snaps when I went to start the engine. Does anyone know what can be the cause of this?

 

Welcome to the forum

Should include year and engine when posting a question

2010 2.3l Ranger

Could have been a bad new belt
Was there any squealing noises before either belt broke?

Before putting on a new belt spin each pulley by hand and see if you hear a bad bearing or if its hard to spin
Power steering pulley or crank pulley can't be spun by hand

Look at the pulley/belt alignment with engine running

Do you have AC?
Turn it on while you watch its pulley engage bad compressor can break the belt but you should hear squealing noise first

 

I want to be aware, how much force (ft•lbs) is required on oil container's bolts and the request wherein ought to be force.
