sounds like a problem in the third member, or transmission.

in 4x4, does the front shaft also lock up?

its hard to say given that we dont know exactly whats causing the problem internally, but if you take it to a shop, they will have to drop the transmission regardless wich (to them) is labor intensive. find out what the problem is and give it a shot yourself! theres tons of usefull information on here
