Awful Screeching/Squeeling belt noise
Replaced the idler pulley and belt. Noise went away for two days and now it's back.
Any help would be much appreciated.

It is slipping usually when that sound happens. Id bet the tension is not right. It can also be the idler pully if your rig is equipped with one

Take the belt off, crank it up and see if it still squeals...

water pumps will squel like crazy, be fore the bearings let go, the best way to check is to start it up, grab a long screw driver, or a pry bar, put one end on the body of the pully or water pump, that can usually narrow it down rather quickly

Water Pump check up.....
Sorry if it's a stupid question but how exactly do i determine if it's the water pump now? Tension is solid, belt is new and idler pulley is new. Any help would be much appreciated...Thanks!
