Question belt tensioner 1995 V6 3.p

Noticed that the V belt is very lose, is there a belt tensioner or are the adjustments done at the alternator?

There is no V-belt. It is a serpentine belt. And the tensioner is automatic. No adjustments. Ether your belt has stretched out. Or your tensioner is bad. First replace the belt.

The tensioner is spring loaded and is located below the alternator.
