Water Pump Troubles

I replaced the water pump on my 1990 f350 w/460 a month and a half ago because it had gone out and now the new water pump is doin the same thing
is it just a defective water pump?
or could it be something else that is making the waterpumps go out?
when the water pumps went out each time the made a screaching sound that never stopped and coolant sprayed everywhere

Did you purge the system? Sounds like you have something in the fluid that is trashy the bearings. Did you manually try to rotate the first one after you removed it?

Alot of times the reason for the first failure is some corrosion in the system and should be flushed before installing a new one. I'd take the new one back for a replacement and then flush the system and replace the coolant.

Be sure that the belt tension is correct.
