Lock hubs only lock the wheels not transfer case. Check for wear of shifter as it may not be going into gear all the way. Otherwise it is either a bent shift fork or shift sleeve inside the transfer case.

It might start happening again which I would agree with HMAC300 on a transfer case problem.

Please let us know happens so it will help others.

Best, Ken
