3.6L "Chirping" noise = Water Pump
My 2013 Wrangler w/ 13,000 miles has been making a "chirping" sound from the front of the engine after it warms up. Originally I thought it sounded like the alternator bearing might be going. Took it into the dealership yesterday and they told me it was the water pump. They had replaced a couple alternators before they figured out it was actually the water pump. Apparently it's been common on the 3.6L.
Just wanted to give everyone a heads up if they start hearing a chirping noise.

My chirping sound was the throughout bearing at 3k miles. 2014 JKR Rubi. Very common clutch issues. I have not heard much about water pumps. Thanks for info.

Jeep JK 3.6 2012. Replaced water pump, 2 idler pulleys, x2 belts <1yr, still get this high pitched electrical sound after driving 10min moderate hills <45mph. Engine does not overheat ~110—120deg. No codes or lights, drives fine, insanely annoying
