That's the normal price for the kit. If you go on Amazon or eBay, you can find the "kit" for cheaper. It's not all genuine Nissan parts, but I saved over $100 by getting an Amazon kit and it's held up great so far.

IIRC, that price has gone up a bit from what I paid for mine. I want to say when I bought the kit from Courtesy, it was $260's-$280's?
EDIT: Nope, never mind. I just dug up the invoice, bought it 2 years ago and I paid $346.32. Not sure if that was before or after tax.

Throwing a hammer at your engine with the fury of Thor can possibly clear up a very obnoxious whining sound from your engine, too.
The likelihood that you're truck is at 173k without a new timing belt is very unlikely, but given that you're close enough to the 200k mark and the kit replaces all of the drive belts, I'd get the kit and do it since it has a good chance of fixing the whining.
Without hearing it, my guess would be a bearing. When you take apart your front end, spin each one. If it feels dirty, replace it.
As for if you should do a preemptive change... YES. Many people have made it beyond 100K on a belt, but you risk damaging a valve and cylinder by doing so. Mine went about that before a known change. Most shops will place a metal sticker on the upper radiator support saying when the belt was changed. If you don't see that, be in doubt if it was done.

Believe me I have definitely wanted to on more than one occasion, haha
Thanks for the insight. I will probably go ahead and pull the trigger on this soon.

Mine was at 130k-ish and I couldn't find any sticker under the hood saying the belt was replaced. Every indication pointed to it being replaced, as the maintenance history was very detailed. I went ahead and had it replaced anyways, and it turned out that it was replaced probably around the 100k mark, but was installed very poorly. I'm guessing it was a DIY job, hence the no sticker, but I'm glad it was done correctly and now I have it to go off.
