Everytime I get out of my truck I shock myself when I touch the door! No matter what I do it happens, even when I pull my jacket over my hand it zaps me through my jacket. I kinda laughed it off at first but now it’s irritating the crap out of me! Probably sounds silly to most but I’ve never had this issue with any car or truck before? Is there like an anti static spray I can treat the seats with or something to look out for? This is such a weird issue to have…I have cloth xlt seats

Old school cure....Static strap... hangs down under the vehicle and discharges the static to ground. Was said to help with motion sickness.

Touch and maintain contact with metal door frame while you slide out.

touch the passengers ear as you step out.
guarantee it will not shock you at that point, ?

touch the metal on door is a great thing to do

I think you might just have super powers... remember that great power comes with great responsibility lol.

Yell out SHAZAM next time you touch the door. Have your camera rolling when you do this and report back please.
