water pump problems Ok, I installed my water pump and put coolant and stuff(water) in there . But every morning before I go to work, it makes a squeaking noise at first but after a couples of miles on the interstate it won't do it anymore unless I turn it off for a hour or more. Then I have to repeat the process over again to get rid of the noise

OP, welcome to LS1tech. Learn what search is, it'll be your best friend.
It sounds like you may have something misaligned. Have a good look at all the pulleys including the idler pulley and tensioner pulley. Try a new belt.
