When I pulled my factory original water pump the seal was stuck to the block but there was no sealant between gasket and pump face , so I didn't use any with the new pump and seal just cleaned the mating surface ...no leaks . I'm also pretty certain the pump is actually shaped in a way that it will only bolt on one way .

Well if it wasn't leaking then why not just pull the belt off and check the pulley?

That chirp that you are hearing might be your tensioner pulley. I had the same issue with my truck. I just took the belt off and spun the pulleys by hand and could tell right away. It was the only one that sounded ruff right away. Thanks for sharing...

Thanks for the comment. I may end up replacing the tensioner to find out for sure, but I spun it by hand and it seemed okay.

absolutley no reason to put rtv on the water pump it has a rubber seal

I believe It's just supposed to hold the gasket in place for installation.

So what’s the best water pump for these trucks? Besides the oem ones which are $$. I have a 5.9.

It's hard to say because it seems like all the aftermarket ones are mediocre. I'd say the best one is one with a lifetime warranty. A lot of people are saying they had good luck with NAPA water pumps.

I myself have had had no problems with Gates water pumps for the 5.9 (.$30). Just remember to make sure to put silicone grease on the O-ring that comes with it, no need for any other sealant on the water pump and you're good to go! I hope this helps...

There’s a square seal that fits in there and that’s a garbage water pump get the real deal from Cummins or mopar it’s worth it
