Default Need Help

I have started to notice a skweek, so i replaced the idle pulley and tensioner pulley, the noise went away for about a day and is back again. I see no water leaking, so I don't know if it is the water pump or just another one of my pulleys is bad?

welcome to DF...

get a screwdriver or mechanics stethescope and put it on the water pump, alt & power steering pump to find out which one is the culprit. then you can swap it out as needed.

hold the screwdriver to the waterpump and put your ear on the handle. It works like a doctors stehescope. You can hear all the internal noises of things.
