What's that squeak?

I've been having squeaking problems that are obnoxious and I think it is also causing charging problems. I have a new battery, alternator, and belt but still will need a jump sometimes. The water pump pulley doesn't spin true and I'm wondering if this is causing the belt to squeak or not grip properly. Should I replace the pulley or the actual pump. Also I've been getting high temps (over 100) on the highway if I go past 60 mph when I usually can go 75 and maintain 80 degrees. Thanks for the help.

not a mouse? I just found a mouse with 8 little kits in the back of the 280TE I'm pulling apart. There was a pile of seat cusion fuzz in that little compartment in the rear under the floor.

Definitely not an animal. Increases frequency with RPM.

Water Pump Pulley Shaft

If it Ain't "True" ...

Your preliminary diagnosis of the H2O Pump being the culprit is valid.

Okay so just the water pump not the pulley right? While I'm there I want to do anything else that is necessary.
