Water pump/cooling issues on 06 3X!!!

Hey there! My truck is going into the dealer today for the 3rd water pump issue in the last 4,000 miles. Truck started by drizzling coolant from the overflow bottle ( Pressure issue). Pressure tested OK. Water pump leaking a second time and they replaced. Now after 3,000 miles Water pump is leaking AGAIN from the weep hole. I gues it could be a bad pump, but I went ahead and called Dodge to get their engineering dept involved. Any other suggestions?

We testyed for exaust gas in the coolant ( Head Gasket) none found. Sent oil sample in, no coolant in oil. Could it be a freeze plug issue ( I am told) or head Gasket still? Thanks!

Could be a pulley aligment problem. Suggest to the dealer to check the alighment on all the pulleys.
