If OE at 100K, replace them all with new belts.
Thanks for the reply! My car is OE almost everything in the engine bay at 103k miles. Belts show no signs of cracking or anything. But for future reference, when you replace all the belts, is it required to replace all the tensioners as well or only replace the tensioners when it is making a noise? I know for timing belts you replace the tensioner at the same time but never had to deal with a serpentine belt.
