Speedo Cable

I am installing a new speedo cable into my truck. Does it need to be lubricated first, or is it pre-lubed? What would be the recommended product nd procedure to lube a new able? TIA

I'd be surprised if a new cable wasn't lubed and ready to go from the manufacturer. You can pull the cable out of the housing a bit to see if it's lubed or dry. There is special cable grease, you can research that if you need to.
