Well, after some good guessing, I came to this conclusion. The chirping was a bearing in the water pump that was going bad. The clicking started when it went out and then the belt came off after it wore slam out. I replaced the water pump ($70 @ Advance Auto) BUT, I cannot figure out how to get the top, center hose on the pump fully cause it's burried under the AC. Any thoughts on how I can get that fully seated? I took off the AC to have a look-see and there was no access to the hose. I can't run it with it still draining coolant. Help.RAGMAN!
