AM General keeps on modernizing the big army trucks. In 1993 the American government ordered this company to upgrade 2400 tactical 2.5-tonn trucks of M44A2 series. According to the contract AM General was supposed to disassemble the cars completely, remove the obsolete details and replace them with new ones. Then the vehicles were assembled again, equipped with contemporary diesel engine, 4-stage automatic gear-box and radial tires compatible with a central tyre inflation system unit. As a result of restoration they got “new” 2.5-tonn trucks M35A3. The assurance provided for these upgraded cars is 16 years.
