I can't stand it. It stopped for a while, but with it getting cold again, so comes the dreaded squeak...tempted to rip the cable out and just get a GPS speedometer of some sort. But it wouldn't work in all conditions reliably. Perhaps a digital speedometer? New speedometer altogether? I've replaced the cables in the past, tried lubing it, but to no avail.

It's gotta be in the speedo gauge itself. It's the loudest in that area, and lubing/replacing cables has never done anything. Suggestions?
