[QUOTE="JerryD, post: 444004, member: 17662"] When you have the belt off, try to rock the pulley of the pump side to side. Any play would indicate worn bearings and I would replace. Also, check for any signs of dampness weeping out of the water pump. Could be a gasket, but at that mileage, I would replace. I had one go and it just puked coolant. I was amazed at how much came out... never had one fail as dramatically as that before. I agree with [USER=18221]@BLACKJKU[/USER] and would replace the tensioner - just as a preventative maintenance. If everything else looks good, I wouldn't worry too much about it. [/QUOTE]
