[LudwigC]

A slight chirping from the engine while running. Water pump, Idler? Thoughts?

Could be the water pump, tensioner, idler pulley, or fan pulley bearing. Take the belt a loose and spin all of them and attempt to wiggle to see if you can determine the culprit.

Could also be the AC pulley

Here's a discussion on the topic. On page 3 or thereabouts, you'll see how I release the belt tensioner to spin and adequately inspect all the pulleys.

Change the belt first and then dig deeper if needed.

An old/hard belt was my issue 2 years ago.

Great. I'll check out those recommendations and thanks for the link also.

Not yet. Maybe get the chance to troubleshoot it this afternoon.
