To adjust the belt tensioner on a 2000 Dodge Caravan, first, locate the tensioner pulley. Use a wrench or socket on the tensioner bolt to rotate the tensioner away from the belt, which will relieve tension. While holding the tensioner in place, you can adjust or replace the serpentine belt as needed. Release the tensioner slowly to reapply tension to the belt once adjustments are complete.

Location of belt tensioner on dodge Dakota truck?

Facing the engine the tensioner will be on left side of engine. There is an idler pulley that looks like the tensioner. The idler will have a smooth surface but the tensioner will have grooves on the pulley & should below the idler. If the tensioner is making noise etc it is prob just the tensioner pulley (grooved one) & you can get just the pulley. Big savings.
