Thanks mrein3!
i purchased the truck with 275-60-15's already on it - which i'm sure are not the same diameter as the stock tires it once had.

i used graphite oil to lube the cable, after researching, it seemed the better choice. we get some nasty cold days in winter, but apparently it's not the lube gunking up cause it bounces the same whether winter or summer. i'll have to revisit the cable - while also checking the websites for correct color gears specific to my set up.

thanks again for the input!
