Default Water pump?

I replaced my c-belt today(ram 1500 with a 360) and noticed my fan was alittle loose feeling, after i started it back up i noticed that it was alittle wobbly and made alittle bit of noise. Is that my pump or my clutch

I would say clutch becouse if pump was that lose it would be leaking coolant out of the front seal. with the motor shut off grab the fan and see if it has play in it and watch and see if just the clucth is were the play is or is the shaft going into the waterpump moving with play.ether way i would not use it like that might come apart and take out the radiator.

yea defenatly something to take care of asap... thast really odd for that to come loose like that...i spent a good hour getting my fan off my water pump pully... anyway.. there should be a large nut that screws onto the waterpump pully... prolly gonna be loose there.. or its not loose there there is 4 bolts holding the actual fan blades onto the fan clutch..they are on the back side of the clutch ... check them to see if they are loose

I tore into it and the pump was bad,it didnt leak that much. I had no real issuses gettin it off and putting the new one on. I flushed the system and put new hoses on.
