If it's time for a belt, it may be time for all new hoses too.

you should also check the tensioner pulley. both the bearing and the spring are 'wearable' items.

How can i tell if its time to replace the pulley quik?

if the tension still seems tights (the spring has not softened) and the pulley spins freely without squeaking... then it's fine

I changed mine out at 4 years and approx 65k miles when I was attempting to r&r my alternator. Still looked pretty good, but since the old one was out..what the heck.

My hoses look just fine still at 78k. I usually go 100k or more on original hoses. Just me perhaps.
