Check alternator belt tension when the engine is up to operating
temperature, and you've driven for a while.  Many times a properly
adjusted belt on a cold engine will become loose (or deposit itself on
the roadway-BTDT) when things heat up and expand.   Check the harmonic
balancer, pulley etc alignment.
