i drive a 1986 gmc s-15 and it just started chirping. it gets louder when i give it gas then it goes back down when i slow down. i have lookede in the engine compartment and it is not my belts slipping. i am thinking that it might be my alternator or my water pump. also i got under my car and it seems louder right under my oil pan, so could it be my oil pump??? any ideas would help. thanks

I've heard chirping sounds from dry speedometer cables. It would be at the tail end of the transmission. It's not the oil pump.

Try the armorall trick on the belts. wd-40 works as well. If that doesnt make any diffence in the chirp, try using a long screwdriver with the handle to your ear as a stethoscope. ( CAREFULLY!!!!! ) You may be able to discern where the noise is loudest that way, just be safe around moving parts!!!!

Try spraying some ArmorAll on the belt to see if the noise goes away

it sounds to me like the bearings either on your alternater are going bad or the water pump needs to be replaced because the inside of created heat friction and went dry.
