Idler Pulley and Radiator Hose Questions

[Kaiser Pontiac]

So, I believe my grooved idler pulley bearing is going out. I see that Dorman, Dayco, and Gates make that pulley. Is one of these brand's pulley better (in quality/longevity) than the other two, or is it a wash?

http://www.amazon.com/Dayco-89051-Be...ds=Dayco+89051

There's about $7 price different between the Dorman and the Dayco, with the Gates sitting in-between them for price.

Also, while I'm doing it, should I replace the smooth idler pulley, and smooth tensioner pulley - or is that unnecessary preventive maintenance?

Additionally, my upper radiator hose rotted out and started spewing coolant all over; question, does anyone make a red upper radiator hose or do I just go with http://www.amazon.com/Dayco-71850-Up...rix+upper+hose ? Also, should I replace any other coolant hoses while I'm doing it?

Thanks in advance!

dayco. i always change to the steel pulleys when i can and dayco is the only with the steel ribbed pulley unless your looking at the dodge/merc 2.5" ribbed pulley or the 8 rib ford stuff

I figured that, might as well go steel for the extra $7.

Found that radiator hose also by Dayco for $8.19.

The most expensive out of the 5 choices of hoses on RA is $13.49, so I'd recommend getting the hose off RockAuto.

How fast is shipping from RockAuto? I should probably just check the parts store Monday see if any of them got it.

Kind of depends where you live and which warehouse it's shipping from. My stuff that I ordered is shipping from GA and it said it should be here by Jan. 11.

Eh, if the parts stores don't have it (one of them should I'd think), I'll just pay the extra on Amazon since I can get it here for free in two days.
