Assuming you're asking about the serpentine belt, you cannot adjust the tension. If the belt is too loose it's either because it needs to be replaced or the belt tensioner needs to be replaced.

How do you Change serpentine belt on 2000 Chevy suburban?

Must be similar to my 98 suburban. Make sure there is a sticker that tells you the routing for the belt somewhere on the front of the car under the hood. Buy a good gates belt. It may cost more, but its worth it. I put a cheaper one on that worked but made an unerving noise. Find the tensioner for the belt. Mine is right next to the alternator on 5.7 liter v8. Your objective is to relieve the tension on the belt at the tensioner and then pull the belt sideways off the tensioner. Once that is done, you just pull the belt out. You can unscrew the bolt in the middle of the tensioner out a ways and pull the tensioner out but not all the way out. this should release the belt. Make sure when you put the tensioner back on that you align the tang on the back of the tensioner in its hole. Option 2: If you are strong enough, You should be able to force the tensioner with your hand to a lower position wihtout taking the tensioner off and then sliding the belt off and on. Remember to look at your belt routing when putting the new one on. You can do this. Good luck.
