Do you need to change a timing belt/chain on a 2003 Nissan Frontier at it's 90,000 major tuneup?

2003 Nissan truck due 90,000 mile major tune up. My mech says change timing belt, Nissan Mech says no. My mech is very reputable and well known in the northstate. Does work for 3/4 the cost of anyone else and has been doing my vehicles for 15 years. I'm confused... Do I have a new belt/chain put on at the 90, 000 tuneup?

i would recommend it. its kinda a small price maybe 100 150 or so. You could have the opposed engine that when the timing belt/chain breaks the valves clash into the piston and crack them. Thats not a good thing. major cost. Its mostly recommended to change belts about 100,000 miles but 90 would be better.

Yes, you should. If you still have the owner's manual you can look in there for a list of scheduled service recommendations.
