I have a 2013 JK Sport with 51000 miles. I recently replaced the fan belt. Shortly afterwards I started to hear occasional ticking and rattling noise a idle around the water pump pulley. ( at least that's were it sounded like the noise was coming from ) As I increase engine speed, the noise would go away. Is it possible the new fan belt put additional stress on the pulley?
Prior to installing the new belt, I inspected the 2 idle rollers for grease. Put a little more grease inside then installed.
Thanks, John
