I just had a problem with mine. I'm not sure what kind of seats you have but I have buckets and the seatbelt lock unbolts easy as hell. I just took it apart and got the sunflower seed out and not it works fine. Hopefully your problem is as simple as mine.

Are you the original owner of the truck? There was a recall on the seatbelts of my truck, I had them replaced under warranty back when the truck was almost new. Sounds like the seat belt retractor is jammed, there could be some debris in there like Randomhero mentioned. I think the recall was for the belts not locking up under hard braking IIRC.
