This is set in tension from the factory to create an appropriate amount of pre-load.

The rule of thumb is a 1/4 turn in for every inch of steering slop you have with the truck off. Measure the slop at the end of the steering wheel and you won't ever get less than 2", so let that be your target.
I have never found a service procedure, and I don't think it's recommended to ever adjust it since it can cause damage pretty easily. Just understand that.
