Looking for replacement failing part BEFORE it fails

Well this may be helpful to most of us with higher mileage.

What can we look for that will indicate a parts is failing before it fails?

1. The crank pulley belt section starts to move and the hub on the crank stays put. Mileage? Not sure on this, over 100k miles
2. Cruise control doesn't lock up as fast indicating VSS2 is on the way out. Mileage?

Re: #2. Mine failed three days ago at 156K. What a PITA having no speedo, cruise and with the flakey gas gauge, being unsure when to look for fuel with no Odometer either. Wish I had been aware of pending failure indicated by no cruise engagement that began about 2 mos ago, but after having ignition switch replaced had assumed it to be related. Especially bad being 500 mi from home.
