What other major service milestones should be top priority for an 03 that has 205k on It!
SOURCE: 2002 Nissan Frontier timing belt
Timing belts are found on the 3.3L engines, timing chains are on the 2.4L engines. The 2002 3.3L Timing belt is changed at 105K during the major service. This service can run over one thousand dollars. It is recommended to replace the belt, tensioner and idlers, cam and crank seals, water pump, and both belts when changing the timing belt. That way, you only open up the front of the engine every 105K. Why change the timing belt and have a water pump start leaking only 20K later and ruin the belt with antifreeze? Other items during the 105K are a major tune up with all the fluids changed and a lube. This does get expensive. You can break it up into several blocks of time and spread the related service items out over a few months to take some of the sting off.

every 90,000 to 100,000miles and yes it is strongly recomended to replace the water pump with it
SOURCE: Timing belt replacement
depends on mano instructions, recomended changes to be on the safer side around every 55,000miles, if you want get someone to check your belt, but if you can check it yoursef look for the the belt being 2 slack as turning it rore than half way with your finger tips chance it, or get someone to look at it, or look for fraid sides, and missing teath under belt if it has them change it ASAP

If it is running perfectly I wouldn't think that you would need to replace the timing belt. You shouldn't need to replace that until 100,000-120,000 miles. I would definitely hold off until now unless you have start having some timing problems. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!
