To lube the speedometer cable on a Toyota pickup, first, disconnect the cable from the speedometer and the transmission. Clean the cable thoroughly, then apply a light machine oil or graphite lubricant to the inner cable while twisting it to ensure even distribution. Reinsert the cable into its housing, reconnect it to both ends, and check for smooth operation. Be careful not to over-lubricate, as excess oil can attract dirt and debris.

How can you stop sqeaky noise in your speedometer?

It's probably a dry cable. Pull the instrument cluster and disconnect the speedometer cable. Squirt some cable lube down the tube. Usually takes a few shots of lube to get enough down the cable to make a difference. Best bet is to squirt a little own the tube and then let it sit for 30 min and come back and do it again. Try 3 or 4 squirts over a couple hours.
