It's not necessary, but I'd do it since you're in there and replacing everything else...

Yeah, you should. With a '03, I'd be amazed if it wasn't due for a change. You're supposed to change it every 60k.

Well I just called them and they don't have access to the timing belt tensioner. I guess I am going to have to get ripped for a local dealer.

Tensioner should be good but if it looks suspect at all, change it.
