New water pump nothing but problems

[Tivs]

As i said just put a New...well reman but now the truck squeaks im assuming itsunami the pump and i can't get the thermostat inlet to seal I've done everthing. i got it down to it only leaks when on the throttle. Should it swell when it warms or should i try rtv red...or em i gonna break down and take the pump back

[kmach7.3]

thermostat inlet i used form a gasket to stop leak been fine scinse

[Tivs]

ya didnt know how u guys felt about rtv red or anything. well let the truck warm up and so far no leaking....so either the gasket swelled or when the thermostat opened and well followed the path of least resistance. but i just started it now and its been sitting for idk 4 hours id think the thermo would be closed and it didnt leak. also washed my motor since coolent was all over it, it squealed for ever finally went away just as i pulled up to the house and to be honest the truck sounds smoother and quite......idk if i was already use to the squeal or what. its been nothing but issues this week so im on edge

well if anyone runs into this problem, they discontinued the gasket for the 7.3, but if you ask for it for 1995 ford taurus 3.0 its the same gasket. i still have a pully squealing could it be from the coolent getting into the bearing?

probably belt squeal/chirp

get some liquid soap and spread it on both sides of the belt wher you can reach

let it dry and see if the squeal is gone
