2006 T1N 158WB. Approaching 150K miles. I have had it for 15K miles.
Serpentine belt came off the other day. I haven't moved the radiators out of the way yet to see what else may be bad but initial inspection reveals what looks like a broken idler pulley. All other pulleys seem to spin and the alternator clutch seems to be working just fine. This seems like a good opportunity to do some preventative maint. so I was wondering what others might recommend while I'm in there. This will be my first time taking the front off to access the engine.
Alternator: Was thinking about replacing the pulley. Prev owner records show that alternator was replaced with 90A OEM at 75000 miles ago. Should I just replace the whole thing? How long do we expect alternators to last?
Tensioner: Per records never been done. I am going to replace it.
Water Pump: Per records never been done. Should I replace the whole thing or just the pulleys?
Idlers: Will replace. Especially since one is broken as far as I can tell.
Fan/Viscous clutch: were just replaced by local shop about 5000 miles ago.
Thank you!
