Tensioners aren't prone to failure but at 100k + should be evaluated.
there is no center idler on 9-3, obsoleted with the OG9-3 (factory short belt).
Upper idler should be replaced every 40K-60K, wait till winter you'll read of a rash of failures here. Wahzee made a nice pulley if you can contact / obtain one (not in a hurry I'll bet).
Idler / tensioner pulleys shouldnot spin freely, a sign of a dry bearing, nor should it bind.
