The pumps are easy to replace

By far, the easiest water pump replacement I've ever done on any of my vehicles.

The water pumps are a piece of cake.

The only issue I had the last time was the plastic drain valve in the radiator.
They are known to be problematic and even though I'm VERY careful with it the last time it was difficult to get it to catch when trying to screw it in.

Drove the truck today with no issues or squealing.

I know the the belt sometimes can get a glaze build up on it.
The new belt I put on was a green Gates HD and it did look a little slick with some buildup on the backside.

I put the old factory belt back on for now to see if the noise comes back or not.
I'll clean and degrease the Gates and put it back on later as I have a feeling that is the cause of my noise.
