It is not the serpentine pulley nor idler but it need a good clean up on the pulley wheels and then spry generously the belt with belt conditioning dressings spray to minimise dry friction.

Depends on what's leaking. The fuel line runs down that side of the truck to a fuel filter near the front. If the filter or a filter connector has failed or is loose, try replacing the filter. If the problem is a leaking line, you will have to find the exact location of the leak and try either installing a repair kit (cut the line and insert coupler), or if badly damaged, replace the line.
check blend door actuator behind glove compartment it keeps your compressor from coming on.check to see if the compressor is coming on when you turn the air on.
i have a 96 and an 01, go under the truck from behind the drivers side front tire, the drain plug is at the back of the oil pan just behind front skid plate, the oli filter is right behind the front bumper , there is a trap door to get to the filter, but that's only for 4x4 or awd modle's, 2wd filter's are on the drivers side of the enging infront of the starter
Can't help you with the noise, but I suggest that you remove the belt and check all pulleys for any roughness or binding when turned by hand. You have a timing chain...You are right in the "window" where I've seen the most failures. It;s time to change it. It's not an "emergency" but when the chain stretches, it rides up on the cam gear and rips off the plastic gear teeth. And, it will always happen when you have the least amount of money or time to do the repair!
