cricket lick chirping noise
so i've been having this chirping noise, it only happens in the morning or when its kind of cold out, and the car hasn't been ran yet. it goes away after maybe five minutes if that, i just have to drive around the block once and it goes away and won't come back until the car has had enough time to cool down completley like over night. so i'm wondering if its the water pump its wierd how it goes away though i've checked the belts and altenator pulley bearing. so i hope some one can help. as i dont want catastrophic damage and the chirping bugs the crap out of me.

Start by removing one belt at a time. This will give you an idea to which part of the system it is, including the belt. I had this issue with my Dodge, and a brand new OEM belt fixed the problem.

yes but i had changed all the belts and even removed the altenator belt. and still nothing changed. and because i can only do it in the morning and when its cold out and it only lasts for about 10 minutes if u dont move the car its hard to tell. but when i got the runner i changed out the timing belt and tensioners and stuff cause 6it was making a little noise and i was going to do the water pump but had recieved the wrong one so i just put it back together so i'm hoping its not that but if so i would much rather take care of it. but its always in my head that its that because its the only thing i didn't change.
