A belt tensioner typically lasts between 60,000 to 100,000 miles, but its lifespan can vary based on factors such as vehicle usage, driving conditions, and maintenance practices. Signs of wear may include unusual noise, squeaking, or a loose serpentine belt. Regular inspections can help identify potential issues before they lead to failure. Replacing the tensioner along with the serpentine belt during maintenance is often recommended for optimal performance.

usually you don't. Use a socket wrench with an extra long handle or "breaker bar". Turn in the direction indicated on the tensioner, and the tensioner will move enough for you to remove the belt. Once the belt is off, you can remove the tensioner if you have to.

How do you tighten the serpentine belt on a 2002 Buick LeSabre 3.8 Liter engine?
If the belt is old it may be stretched to far for the tensioner to pull tight but If the belt is new then it could either be wrong belt or the tensioner spring is faulty. Be sure the belt is on properly if it isn't on one of the pulleys it won't tighten, also be sure you are putting it on the tensioner(you have to pull tensioner using a large wrench or breaker bar and slide belt on to it last,after other pulleys) I know it may sound like common sence but I've had friends who tried putting it on the tensioner first attempting to use the belt to move the tensioner.

How do you replace a serpentine belt on a '98 Dodge 1500 truck with AC engine 318?
You should have a belt routing guide on the radiator support of the vehicle when you open the hood, somewhere around the hood latch. You will notice a spring tensioner pulley under the alternator, you can use a socket or a wrench to remove the belt, turn the tensioner clockwise to take the tension off the belt to remove the belt. You do not need to remove anything other than the belt. Can be removed with fan shroud in place. Notice the belt routing guide while reinstalling. To install route the belt as in belt routing diagram, the tensioner will be the last pulley to put the belt over. Its a little easier to put the belt on the alternator last. Usually the wrench or socket gets in the way of trying to put the belt on the tensioner last.
