Replacing alternator and alt bracket seal... what else?
 
Going to be replacing my alternator and alternator bracket seal next weekend... It's been leaking for over a year now and the alternator finally quit on me. So what else should I consider replacing while I'm in there? I figured I'd do the serpentine belt... MAYBE the belt tensioner... don't know what else though.

Thanks.

Replace all the belts and especially the tensioners. I did my alternator and 2 weeks later a belt tensioner went. If you search you'll find that they are common "preventative" maintanence items. Wish I had

The whole tensioner or just the pulley?

+1 on belts, pulleys and tensioners. Also, check your lower radiator hose...or if you're close to or over 100K go ahead and change it.
