just get out, touch your feet to the ground for a few seconds, maybe walk in place, and it shouldn't happen.

 

That made me think of something. Yesterday I got out of the truck wearing a jacket that's loaded with static. I came inside, still no shock walking on the carpet floor. I took off my jacket and could feel it on my arms and legs as I moved the jacket passed me to throw it on the couch. The hairs on my arm were standing straight up just about. I knew a good one was coming. I thought maybe if I take my shoe off and touch my sock to the carpet, it will neutralize the shock. So .. I did. As soon as I touched the carpet with my sock I felt the hair on my arms and legs jump and them lay back down. It was wierd feeling. I tried it again later but couldn't do it again.

 

Customer's come into the dealership all of the time in the winter, complaining that they're vehicle has an electrical problem and they're afraid that they're going to get electricuted! I've always gotten a kick out of that. We usually tell them to keep a can of static guard in their glove box and they'll be OK.

 

F'ing A I hate getting shocked! I don't even touch my door anymore, haha I prolly look like a dumbass jumping out of my truck and using my foot to close the door.

 

LOL guys.....

thats the first thing I do in the mornings at work is shock myself to wake up.....
bit diffrent than static electricity...
but hey 110V will wake you up pretty quickk, if that doesnt work step up, and try 220V

 

i use to try shutting my door with my foot in my car until i shock in the foot. i found just grab the door firmly the touch the ground like flyer said. but it is kinda funny when you shocked through a pair of nike shoes

 

If you can only hear snap it its 30,000 volts!!!
If you can see the little bolt from a static shock it's 70,000 Volts!!!!

 

I read the title and thought this thread was about some electronically controlled shock for our trucks. Damn that'd be sweet.

I've never been shocked by my truck, I guess it doesn't get cold enough here, or you guys just need to put the crack pipe down.

 

That's proof that it's not the volts that kills u .. but the amps.

It takes 30k volts to arc across a 1/4 of an inch in case anyone was wondering.

Just cause you think you can take that many volts doesn't mean go and grab a 110 wire, or better a 27k volt power line. They have a bit more bite than the shokc you get from static.
