I looked at my "turkey" water pump box, and it is made by "GK"...no indication
of who "GK" is or what the country of manufacture was.  My box is white with
blue GK symbols all over it.  Interestingly, the water pump has an aluminum
pulley, whereas the one I removed was steel.

So, if I don't have a Graf, then the turkey noise may not be particularly
related to the Graf pump.  Maybe the idler pulley??
