My water pump pulleys are comprised of two steel pulleys sandwiched together. The other pulley lines up perfectly with the AC compressor pulley. The inside pulley is about 1/8 forward of the inside crank pulley. Maybe I need to press the water pump shaft into the pump a 1/8 inch further and add a spacer between the two for perfect alignment on both pulleys (just a thought). Unfortunately (or fortunately) I can't take my truck apart right now because I am using it regularly right now. Thanks for your help.
