Hi Kyle,
The water pump on my caravan made such a God-awful noise when it was going
out I thought the engine was going to blow up, yet no cooling problems. As
a matter of fact I drove it like that for a couple weeks once I found out
where it was coming from. Finally it gave and coolant went all over the
place. Had to have it towed to the shop. That's what I got for waiting.
That was several years ago but I remember it well.
Another thing when you put on your serpentine belt, or any belt for that
matter, too tight is as bad as too loose. The first ruins the bearings in
your accessories and the second doesn't turn them enough to let them run
correctly not to mention belt slippage.
HTH,

But I dont have any cooling problems, as a failing water pump would cause
right? Also, I dont have A/C so no need to worry about that. The serp belt
is 1,000 miles old and is tight, not slipping. I just changed the oil two
days ago and it looked great also. Any other thoughts?
