Ok guys, help me out on this one.

When the engine is running, if i touch a bare spot of metal on the body of the bed, i get an electrical shock, i was afraid to try touching the cab. If its off i don't get a shock. What the heck is goin on here? I didn't get a chance to look under the hood for any bare wires on the body but as i remember there isn't any that i've ever noticed.
 
there's gotta be a wire somewhere that is doing something it shouldnt. try and see if the shock gets more intense anywhere else
 
I hate electrical shock. Its like a phobia of mine. Guess i'll just have to man up and start feelin around lol

take a grounded jumper wire and probe around, you won't get shocked and you'll be able to see a spark, obviously you're dealing with some high voltage that could only come from the ignition system. check your ground cable to the battery
 
Ill check that tomorrow.

Think it could maybe be the coil packs? They are lookin kinda shotty.
 
could be. anything in between the coil and spark plug.
