After thinking about the symptoms you have described, it sure sounds like a bearing in either the generator or the water pump is going bad. They will be nice and quiet up to a certain RPM, then they take off screaming once the harmonics reach the right point. Try taking off the generator / water pump belt and make a quick trip that way, but don't let it overheat.
