Default vibration at 4000rpm after changing water pump

Hey guys
I've got a vibration @ 4000 rpm after changing my water pump on my 2001 C2 cab. Vrbates right at 4k and goes away around 4250.

It's quite tight in there so i also removed the exhaust pipes in addition to the usual removals and loosened parts.
Replaced the 996-111-220-02 clamps while in there.
Of course, it's so loud listening at the rear of the car at 4k rpm I can't tell what's vibrating.

hoping some have run into this before and can share a common part that can vibrate if not buttoned up correctly.

Maybe you have a defective pump…

Get a stethoscope. It will make troubleshooting much easier.

BRILLIANT! I didn't know those existed mate. Just ordered a noise cancelling engine stethoscope and will report back.

Did you possibly reinstall the serpentine belt in the reverse direction it was originally installed?

What type of water pump was installed? Agree with above ^ . I would just buy a new serpentine belt and while changing it out check all the pulleys, water pump, PS pump, alternator and so on...
