I think my water pump might be bad , the belt fell off for no reason i thought so before i put it back on i checked the play on the pulley and there was a lot of play, with the belt on there is not. any input would be help full. Today i started the truck up and noticed some white smoke coming out of the tail pipe so i shut it off quickly and now i need some help. i am new to the r/t and there is 80,000 miles on the truck. I also checked the oil and it didnt seem to be milky but now i am doubting myself.

buy a new water pump..... shouldnt have any play at all. had the same thing happen to me but i was driving on the freeway. needless to say, lots of water and steam everywhere.

there is also a weephole.... have ya seen any water on the ground (running or not) or a unexplained loss in the radiator??
