If you loosen the tensioner can it stop a Ford Explorer from over heating?

No, that's not the problem. Loosening the tensioner will just allow the belt to slip and possibly make the problem worse if the water pump stops or slows. You need to find the problem, usually it's a thermostat, but it could also be a plugged radiator or rusted water pump. Once an engine has overheated, I am concerned that the head may have warped. If it won't hold coolant, you could have a damaged head gasket caused by warping the head.
