SPEEDO LUBE???
I have a ' 91 F150 that I put a new Genuine FORD Speedo Cable in. Does this new cable come with lube on it? If not, what is the very best to use. I notice that at high speeds this new cable tends to jump around?

I don’t understand. Are you asking if the new cable you bought and installed had lubricant on it? You would be the one to know if it did.
I have never purchased a new cable but have used white lithium grease on my old cable.

The new cable you installed was a cable and housing, right? (if no new housing, it might still bounce)
They have little to no lube to start with
I also use white lithium and run some down the housing with the cable pulled out
Then I add more lube as I re insert the cable into the housing
Try repositioning the cable with no sharp bends and no kinks.

Some cables you can't remove the housing. Either way this tool gets the job done on any cable. We used them on our Enduro race bikes all the time.
