Re: Speedometer cable squeak, make it stop for the love of God!

I too live in the cold & like Russel have found low tems and mechanical speedo's don't play well togther. I fixed mine by replacine the cable with a new GM cable and lubed it with ATF only and removed the speedo head, cleaned it and just a drop of ATF around the drive where the cable hooks in. I have to do this every winter and it's a pain but it works. No needle bounce, no noise at all. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shotJim or Paladin whichever you choose.
