93 c1500 4.3l annoying belt squeak help.

Hello
I have got a 1993 c1500 wt 4.3l with 227k. I'm at my wits end getting good belt squeak to stop.
Replaced original tensioner with new gates belt, stopped for about 2 weeks. Went ahead and replaced the the idler pulley because it was grinding when i spun it. Again stopped for about a few days. So i checked the other pulleys found the alternator making some growling noise more than it should plus it's the original from 93. No luck.
The power steering is making a slight noise but no more than what should for its age. What am i missing? The alignment visually looks good. Still squeaks with ac on and off. Nor does turning the wheel make it more or less loud. Its a constant squeak with chirping rhythmically.
It seems like im missing something very simple. Could a worn water pump make it squeak?
Any help will be appreciated.
