Depending on what year it is, will determine how it keeps it's tension. Current ones use a spring loaded belt tensioner. Older ones are tensioned by the alternater or Power Steering mounting brackets, by which you force back the appropriate component and tighten down a bolt.
at the power steering pump theres a long bolt on the one side when tighted it tightens the belt.

where is the tensioner for the serpentine belt on a 2004 ford ranger
how do u change a timing belt on a 94 ford ranger need help
Will anything happen to the motor if timing belt breaks on a 2001 ford ranger
Only if you have the 2.5 liter four cylinder engine in a 2001 Ford Ranger . ( that engine has a timing BELT )
Loosen the tensioner pulley. Put the fan belt around the pulleys. Pry the tensioner pulley to the right until the belt is tight. Tighten the tensioner pulley nut.
spring loaded tensioner does not get tightened. id belt is loose either the belt is stretched and needs replacing, or the tensioner is worn out and needs replacing
try tightening the tension pully works like a charm
You have to install a new belt tensioner.
