In this case, I might replace the pulleys and tensioner. I've had those fail on the road before. They can seize unexpectedly.
My problem with replacing stuff proactively is that often replacement parts are of poor or dubious quality. I've rebuilt transmissions and found the rebuild kits had bearings marked "CHINA" whereas the fifty-year-old originals were American-made and in fine condition.
Which ones do you think I tossed?
