0 OldRedMack Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I won't say that 1 is better than the other, but the glaring difference is the space in the cab. Unless they changed something, the last dm I was in, was an 80 something model.

0 41chevy Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 2006 DM still has the old style cab, not a lot of room compared to the Granite cab.

0 terry Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 (edited) I would compare drivetrain specs first, and what you are going to do with it. terry Edited October 13, 2018 by terry Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/54533-mack-dm-vs-granite/#findComment-407804 Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Mack Technician Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Get a Granite and avoid DM, unless you get a mid-to-pre 2003 DM. DM from those 04-07 usually have low-spec engines. Mostly 300-335 AMI HP. Maybe you will have better pickings, that’s just from my shopping experience. CV-713 will have a better package. You will regret buying a low HP AI or AMI.
