If the rear drive shaft is spinning then the problem is with the rear differential.

Yes, either the differential is bad or you have a broken axle. Any loud noises from the rear before this occurred?

I'm having this same problem Same truck 01 GMC Sierra 4x4. It will engage and drive but then grinds and won't catch back into drive. I have to get to the side of the road and resist. If I power break it'll catch but due to the grinding I don't try to do that.
