I've got an appointment to get the safety inspection done for tomorrow so I'm trying to get all the required stuff in tonight. Got the mirrors on, brake lights, windshield washers all working. Not sure if the speedo needs to work but not taking any chances.
Thanks!

I just purchased a speedo cable for my truck. The instructions state to lubricate all of the cable. You can obtain cable lube at any motorcycle shop.
ATF is hydraulic fluid, and not a lubricant. If its a new cable, they usually supply some cable lube and instructions with the speedo cable.
