All my toyota dealerships do not replace those when timing belt is replaced - just check.
How often do they lock up?

I'm obviously way over due on this. I bought my car at 57K and I'm currently 128K without changing it. I'll be getting a new belt and tensioner in the next two weeks though. It's starting to chirp a little

Is it just the tensioner or the other pulleys to?

the tensioner, idler, new spring, and might as well do the water pump while your at it.

Actually, I just asked how often they go bad if not replaced with the timinng belt.
Another way of putting it how high a chance for those to last two timing belts intervals.

probably none. they will first make a grind noise like a bad alternator and then they will seize on ya.
