I came up with some crazy *** belt routings. haha. I should have taken pictures of each, you would have went WTF???

 

Ok cool Im also going to remove the AC belt and just check it, but still going to change pump.

 

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.

 

Never had a chance to try the new water pump....I broke the tab on the bracket for the alternator damb procharger. Going to weld the tab back on in the mourning. CRAP!

 

Well I can still hear the chirp sound. Now Im wondering if its just a exhaust leak...

 

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.
