Speedo Cable
Thanks to Bill; NumbersDummy, able to purchase an OEM replacement speedometer cable for the T-18. I was so excited that I installed the cable but fail to consider adding speedometer cable lubricant. Since I do not know if the cable is pre-lubed; whether it best to be safe than sorry and remove the cable and apply the speedometer lubricant? Other than removing the instrument cluster it should not be a labor intensive task?
Comments appreciated!

I just ran across Ford's PTFE lubricant for driveshaft slip yoke splines is also recommended by them to lube speedo cables. It's still available from your local Ford Dealer.
Ford Motorcraft part number XG8A is a 1 lb. container.
Ford Motorcraft part number XG8 is a 3 oz. tube.

Lol - couldn't resist a reply.
My closest dealer had a 3 alarm fire nearly 2 years ago so they are still rebuilding. Looks like it will be much improved when it is done, though.
I think all their lube went up in flames.

WOOW. Bummer. Well, in the mean time you can PM me with your Dealership needs. I can't openly sell parts here but we can pow-wow over PM's. I am a Ford Parts Man at a Dealer in Arizona. And I give all FTE brethren a good deal. I am also King (2) in the 67/72 trucks "Kingdom" here. I just delete my sig when I'm on other boards.
