If you are refering to the cam belt tensioner, they are spring loaded and self adjusting. The V6 tensioner can lose tension and become very noisy, if this is the case, replace the belt and tensioner. If, however, you have an ealier model, you will have up to 3 manual tensioners. Tightening the bolts on these loosens then tentioner (moves the wheel down) IMPORTANT: Don't forget to tighten the lock nuts when you're done adjusting!! :)

I think it is the same as my 98 and you put a wrench on the bolt at the center of the tensioner pulley and push away from the belt.
To adjust the belt tensioner on an Isuzu pickup, first, locate the tensioner pulley, typically found near the front of the engine. Use a wrench or a socket to turn the tensioner counterclockwise, which will relieve tension on the serpentine belt. If your model has a manual tension adjustment, adjust the tensioner according to the specifications in the owner's manual, ensuring the belt has the correct tension. After adjustments, double-check the belt alignment and tension before reassembling any components.
Not unless the bearing in that pulley is noisy or rough when you spin it.
the water pump is driven by the timing belt. highly recommended to replace the tensioner, tensioner and idler pullies, and cam seals.

To change the fan belt on an Isuzu Rodeo, first, ensure the engine is off and cool. Locate the tensioner pulley and use a wrench to relieve tension on the belt, allowing you to remove the old belt. Route the new belt according to the belt diagram usually found on the radiator support or in the owner's manual, and then reapply tension using the tensioner. Finally, double-check the alignment and tension of the new belt before starting the engine.
how do you change the serpentine belt on a 2001 Rodeo

u do not adjust belt tensioner if belt is loose, u need to replace belt as tensioner works automatically
You can adjust the belt tensioner by loosening the tensioner bolt. When the tensioner bolt is loose the tensioner pulley can move back and fourth.
