My 96 AWD 5.0 has a bad whining sound coming from the engine at idle. I have changed both idler pulleys and tensioner pulleys which were whining in the past. The noise is coming from the area of the waterpump and after $100 for a new pump and a weekend of fun, the problem remains. It is definitely coming from the vicinity off the crank angle sensor located behind the water pump. The noise stays in sync with the motor and disappears at higher rpms and mimics the sound of a brake rotor on its last leg. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
