water pump squeal..
i've had this odd squealing/screeching noise that comes and goes. i'm 98% sure it's not the belts or the tensior puller for the p/s. all i have is the power steering and alternator (no a/c). my hunch is that it's the water pump, maybe? the noise comes and goes and increases with the speed of the engine but is unaffected by it. by this i mean reving doesn't necessarily make it disappear. any ideas?

okay, i sprayed the belts with some wd-40 with now change in noise, tempo or pitch. i did notice though the sound was most prominent on on the drivers side of the engine. this indicates to me it may very well be the water pump. i stethoscoped it with no result. until i replace the pump and that eliminates the noise i'm just going to assume that it's the culprit. i don't plan on r&r'ing it unless it fails.
fyi, adding any electrical load didn't change the noise either. cl8ton, do you have a link to the particular ranger forum troubleshooitng this issue.
