Hi. I have a 2020 1500 3.6 and I just replaced the water pump as well thermostat with housing and both belts. Started up no noise no leaks and stayed at normal operating temperature for 30 minutes. Took for a test drive and drove about 100 feet I heard a chirp noise which sounded like a bearing ready to lock up. I turned around and drove back and heard this noise again 2 times. Got back to my business and noticed the check engine light on. I shut off and started and did not hear the noise but did not want to chance having something lock up and snap the new belt I shut the truck off. Anyone have this same problem? Thank you

open the hood, take a look at the belt, see if it s tight, start up truck and observe belt, observe coolant temp and look for leaks around pump. If that s all good, drive it back to the shop that did the job.(keeping an eye on the temp gauge).
