Sounds like you simply don't have the belt (via the adjusting bolt) tight enough.
Have someone turn the steering wheel (with the truck in park or neutral) while you watch under the hood and see if the belt is slipping.

Let's see, you're "only" 17 and have no udea what you're doing yet you put swapped engines ??
