Hey! We're talking trucks here! Stay focused!
Swapping out the Power Steering Pump on the 3.0 requires taking off the pulley first. I can't get the #(*%^ nut off the pulley! Tried everyting I could think of with the tools I had - lots of pentrating oil, vise-grips, belt tension, heat, long cheater bar on the socket wrench - it won't budge! I can't get a nut splitter on because of the pulley recess and I'm afraid I'll crush the pulley if i try to grab it by the rim. Is there a secret I'm not aware of? Anyone got any tricks?

I would imagine that you have tried this, but did you use a pully puller?

Gotta get the nut off first.
