+1 remove belt feel for play in pulley shaft, checking for signs of leakage and cooling behavior

Before long trips I remove belt, check all pulleys for play and free spin and leaks

Most treat PM differently. There is no rule of thumb to replacing what appears to be perfectly working parts.
Typically one replaces the parts that coincide with other related work.
Slippery slope: Doing WP, might as well do Thermo, coolant, coolant tank, hoses, clamps, Idler pulleys, and.... the list goes on

I'm at 84k miles and It's time to refresh the coolant so that would be my time to PM the WP and thermostat. This could also be coolant tank PM time
