I didn't do mine until 175xxx and it ran decent but then I just decided to do it one day and It was a night and day difference how the motor felt

Can't really tell until you remove the belt to see how it really is. Time and mileage determine if it's time for a replacement.
Just remember that if the belt breaks then the pistons will hit and you'll need a new engine.

this was mine after 175xxx original belt


I mean that the motor is running more "tight" then when the belt was stretched out, everything runs smoother I had this valve tick that actually went away after getting the belt done so when I say night a day difference when you smash on the gas now then smash on it after the job is done you notice a big difference....pickin up what im layin down?

I changed mine at 105k, 7 years and it just had small cracks.

I did mine at 10 years and 118K I would not go much beyond that... rubber dries out over time so...
