Looks like it's a Dayco 89253 tensioner. R&R = remove and replace
So both are DAYCO tensioners. @mattbta beat me to it!

5+ yrs and 63k miles ago I repalced all my belts, pulleys, tensioners, with NAPA/Gates.
Still going strong.

So captain Short Sighted here has purchased a new pulley. How in the actual freak do you get the old pulley off the tensioner housing/mechanism??

Okay. New pulley on. No change. (As an aside, the “wiggling” I saw was the tensioner moving. Because I’m an idiot.) Cranked her up without the belt and no squeak. Spun every pulley by hand. No wiggle or squeak. I’m hoping it’s the belt because I’m changing that out next.
Confirmed: I apparently have no idea how to use a mechanics stethoscope.

AND YOU win the kewpie doll. Turns out it was the belt. Buddy of mine suggested spraying the belt with hairspray to make it tacky. If the squeak went away, belt was fouled. Did it, squeak went away. Well done sir.
And you may still foul another belt or two until whatever it is is finally worn away.
