I put a new Coil on and in two days it burns. And the thing the belt goes on it turns and then stops and when it stops the truck shake and then it starts going again.

The voltage to the coil is controled by the PCM. As far as the belt, does it only happen when the AC is on?

No it happemns when the ac is off. The truck will work fine for a while but after a couple days or so the coil burns. We put a new one and it work just fine I dont understand. And what is the PCM and where is it at.

The PCM is the powertrain control module in the vehicle. It is the main computer for the engine / trans. Usually, it's located under the hood on an inner fender well.
