My AC compressor, AC belt, and AC belt tensioner are only about 1 month old. Actually the water pump is the only thing spun by a belt on my motor that is over 1 month old.

Do you have any aluminum pulleys? Mine chirps when the A/C comes on at first and when I let off after a hard run. It didn't do it before the aluminum pulleys. They are a little more slippery.

Yes, I have the T-MAC 8 rib setup through Leftcoast32. My water pump is making a bearing noise also, if I route a belt so that I bypass the water pump all sounds normal.

Mine started the day after I put my new serpentine. I removed my air conditioning so I know it eliminated that. I know for a fact that the water pump is making the chirping noise. And it only does it when I accelerate. So I installed a new water pump and it still does it
Has anyone been able to figure it out.?

I hope its not this but is your oil pressure also fluctuating at idle? I had a chirping sound and it was a failed lifter and my oil pressure was fluctuating at idle.

Mine was a belt causing the noise from the alignment being off a hair.
