Could be the clutch fan or idler pulley is making noise. Usually a water pump failure shows signs starting with gradual coolant loss from the weep hole out the bottom of the pump near the shaft. If the truck sits in place while running for a few minutes, are you getting a little puddle of coolant under the engine compartment?

Water pumps generally leak water when they go bad. Most underhood squeaking noise is caused by bad idler or tension pulley bearing. Loosen the belt and check each one for wobble or roughness. They should spin smooth with no play in them.
