sounds like the bearing in the Water pump is bad because you mention it starting to overheat

ok just replaced the pump and fan clutch and still have the whirling so i swapped the alternator so of it went away so i think its my alternators but it might be the ac idk the powersteering pump pulley has a crack but its been that way since i bought it a few months ago and i changed the3 belt after it started making the soundi have a new pulley i am puttin on it at work tomorrow and a new thermostat cause its still over heating with a new pump.the idler pulley and tensioner pulley both had wornout bearings so i replaced these to theres not much it can be now
