Thats why i hated my Buick with the 472ci in it. Simple repairs were just stupid hard due to how huge and heavy parts were! I'm not really a strong guy; I have an 18" breaker bar and 4' cheater for good reason. Doing the intake manifold it took TWO people to lift the thing just for a gasket job! The starter I could barely hold with one arm while I had to start a bolt with the other as it weight as much as a subary cylinder head! Subarus rule !_!

Working on military rigs has given me a healthy respect for weight. One person cannot lift a wheel and tire into place by himself on a deuce - you need a wheel lift! The axle nuts are 3.5 and 4 INCH sockets. We have a torque wrench that's 5 feet long for those..... Batteries are a two man lift, The generators (not alternators even) are so heavy you need a couple guys to hold them in place while you get the bolts started. Dry weight on one of these "small" military trucks is over 20,000 lbs. GD
