I've had an intermittent annoying squeal/squeak for the past 2 weeks or so which has been slowing progressing to be louder and more frequent. I finally dug in this morning and took off the belt to check the pulleys by hand and it was my water pump. The pulley/shaft had tons of play in it and it didn't spin smooth.

I sourced a new graf replacement WP locally for $112 bucks and i'm going to replace it myself tomorrow.


Your squeal could potentially be a ticking time bomb so I would try to get to the bottom of it sooner then later.
