There are two belts on the 99-04 chev tracker. One is the large serpentine belt which drives the coolant pump, Power Steering etc. and the other is the small belt which drives the radiator fan. I'm assuming you mean the serpentine belt. Firstly, the belt tensioner on my 2000 2.0L tracker is spring loaded and as far as I can tell, shouldn't need to be adjusted. I had a problem with my tensioner as I live in a northern climate where they salt roads in winter time. The salt worked its way into the tensioner causing the spring to seize and once the belt stretched over time. it became quite loose. Apparently this is a common problem, not just with salt, but also moisture causing the spring to rust and stick. To change the tensioner, first tremove the serpentine belt. There are two bolts, one just below and to the right of the power steering pump, and the other to the right of the alternator. Remove these and replace tensioner. Look in wrecking yards for another tensioner if you wish to save money as the part was $180 Cdn at my local NAPA store and $40 from a junk yard. Don't throw out your old tensioner as it is still usable. Fill a large empty coffee tin with vegetable oil or sewing machine oil (not motor oil, or used oil) and put the old tensioner in there. Leave it sit and soak in oil until the new tensioner seizes. I have the NAPA tensioner on my tracker now, and the original and the junk yard tensioner in oil in by basement for spares. Hope this helps!

How do you adjust the tension on 1994 Chevy pickup?

To adjust the tension on a 1994 Chevy pickup's serpentine belt, locate the belt tensioner, which is typically a spring-loaded arm. Use a wrench or a ratchet to turn the tensioner pulley in the direction indicated (often counterclockwise) to relieve tension on the belt. Once the belt is loosened, you can replace it if needed or adjust it as necessary. Ensure the belt is properly seated on all pulleys before releasing the tensioner to apply proper tension again.

How do you adjust the tension a serentine belt for a 2005 Chevy Silverado?

there is no adjustment for tension on a serpentine belt because there is a spring tensioner the belt goes around and if it is sticking and not keeping the belt tight enough you will have to replace the tensioner. They probably cost more than the labor to do it.
