I'm still hoping mine was just on too tight. I've replaced it with a new one and checked everything over and can't find anything wrong except the pulleys have a bit of melted rubber stuck in the groves and I couldn't get it all out. Hope that doesn't effect it.
How did U manage to trace it to the water pump?

Did you get any mud into the alternator? Mud can feck up the bearings and they will only cease under load too most likely. Seen this happen a few times already.
