If you're talking about the serpentine belt and it looks okay, nothing REALLY bad can happen if it lets go. You just HAVE TO pull over RIGHT AWAY so you don't overheat your engine (water pump is driven off the serpentine belt) if it decides to let loose. It's more of a peace of mind thing I guess to replace it at 60k miles, I had mine done.
On the other hand, if you're talking about the timing belt on a V6 engine, by all means, no questions asked REPLACE it AND the tensioners. If that sucker goes, and it will, say goodbye to your engine and $4k out of your wallet.
