Got home and found the inner cable had snapped and was fairly dry. Not one
dealer in the area had one in stock, says it will take a week to get.

Moral of the story is LUBE THAT CABLE if you never have.

Down at your local auto parts, there is a speedo repair kit that has a generic length cable you cut to fit. One end is squared off and the end you cut gets a
drive nub crimped onto it. Squeeze hard.
The speedo cable I used to get for my 4x4 from GM parts was about the same except of being crimped on, the end was melted on with a lighter. I don't think it'll be any cheaper, but no waiting.

This cable does not have the usual square ends
it is slotted at the
wheel end, not sure about at the speedo yet I have not taken that apart yet. Parts already ordered. I'll have to keep an eye on fuel level till then.
