okay, i changed the idler and tensioner pulleys and the belt yet the squeek remains. when i spin the water pump pulley it makes some noise so im like 80% sure thats the issue, i've also heard of something related to the cam that makes a squeeking noise too.

anybody have any other ideas? im really not into replacing a good water pump right now just beause its bearings squeek a little.

If it is the pump bearings then you should replace it soon, it's about to start leaking. Hold a long screwdriver to your ear and move the pointed end around to different spots (while it's running), where it's loudest is the problem.
