Opinion on serpentine belt: how much tension?

While putting on the main serpentine belt (4.4 engine), I've noticed that the tension on the belt goes from zero to 'quite a bit' very quickly. The tensioner has a pretty strong force to it. Usually I look for the tension that allows me to depress The belt a half inch, but that does not seem possible on this truck. What's the recommendation on adjusting the tensioner?
