I think a good idea would be for you to attach a ground strap from the truck
to your left ankle. If you have a leather interior this will not happen. You
think it's bad in Alabamaba, you should remember the Santa Ana winds!
John Backus - it's too soggy in Cincy to get shocked.

I've had an interesting problem with my girly truck ever since I've owned
it.... damn thing shocks the poop outta you everytime you get out and touch
the door to close it.... it has never really bothered me and has actually
created some amusement as I usually let a passenger get out first and watch
THEM get shocked......
Today I had got out to fuel the thing and it was a particularly dry day....
I hadn't closed the door so the first thing I touched was the Gas Cap....
Hmmm I'm sure all of you can see this going bad....
I just thought I would ask you guys what you thought about fixes?.... I was
thinking about a simple rubber grounding strap mounted under the truck
somewhere.... But I could see 10 folks a day telling me I had something
dragging.....
