Matt,
I had the same problem with my 1500. I even had a 350 pound guy help out with
the pry bar. About all I got accomplished was being catapulted off the block.
Anyway, I started looking closely at the nut and found that a PO had WELDED the
nut to the crank, or at least a strong solder. So I took it to Pep Boys along
with my socket and they used an air tool and broke it free with no problems.
Hope that helps!
