About To Torch My 01 Ranger
well my truck has developed this squeaking/chirping noise coming from one of the stupid pullys...well i bought a brand new belt, idler pully, belt tensioner assembly and the damn thing still does it..now it dosent do it at idle but rev it up a little or drive it, it does it and its very annoying..what could the problem here be?

when it was running i would spray wd-40 on the belt and it would go away for about 20-30 seconds then it started again progressively getting louder

clutch on the ac is new..just replaced it because my old one was grinding...with the engine running i sprayed a little wd-40 on the top side of the belt and the squeak goes away momentarily then comes back..it sounds like the belt is squeking on the fan pully

Mine does the same thing. I have UPD's as well. if you ever find a fix, LMK, it's annoying as hell.
Use belt stop squeak, put it on the top of the belt, light coat, it stops for like 5 mins...

Take a small hose and stick it in one of your ears. Then take the other end and find out exactly where it's coming from.
Assuming it's the water pump like you think.. with the belt off see if it has any percievable movement (other than freely rotating) It should have no slop fore/aft or side-side_up-down.

If you're running the underdrive pulley, I would suggest swapping the stock one in and see what happens. I battled the same squeak you are describing and found it to be a worn underdrive pulley:

I replaced the tensioner, idler, alternator, nothing worked until I tried putting the stock one back on. The aluminum pulley was noticeably worn.
