I’d replace the idler and tensioner pulley while you’re in there. If it needs a belt those other items are likely due as well.

Belt on there is fine but I thought I would carry a spare for road trips, Not sure if its common for them to break or not?

Good info. My tensioner idler started a tick last tank of gas. Is a dorman replacement ok?

Breaks are not common. Replace the belt and carry the old one as a spare, that's what I do. I use Continental, it's a bigger company and makes better stuff. Continental makes good hoses too and they've been around longer than Gates. Everybody has an opinion right?
 
Globalization! Did you know I cannot view prices of products on US amazon anymore? It just shows the product and "Not Available" Ebay did this first a few years ago so we couldnt buy cheaper priced US goods and have to pay local price for same product! just like the belt $33 au from rockauto or $79 au from here!

Do you have a part number? continental belts on amazon australia are only $42 au as apposed to Gates $79 au
 
I put a new tensioner/idler and idler today. I noticed after I installed the PSC pump (smaller diameter pulley) that the idlers are really close together. Is there a shorter version of the serpentine belt available? How much shorter should it be?

I have a spare belt tucked under the engine bay fuse box. theres just enough room there to fit it like it was intended to be used to hold a spare belt. ive never snapped a serpentine belt before but ive seen enough of them on the roads lately that I considered keeping a spare handy.

consider replacing your belt and keeping the old belt tucked under the fuse box as a backup spare.

There are varying sizes and hard for me to convert MM to fractions under an 1/8th but its the reason I asked as the belts I looked up varied quite a bit on the "With A/C" some are smaller than others but if the code I gave worked for @pargrey then I should be good!
By the way they are all made in China!
