4x4 and braking problems

Okay here is my problem. I stared to notice my truck pulling to the left while braking. Now I read thru the forums and found one thing mentioned....hubs. I know its not the caliper (less than 1 yr old) and I just lubed the slide pins when I replaced the hub assembly. I have the hubs locked (manuals) so I will unlock and see if thats it. But I also noticed with all the snow we have been getting that when I shift out of 4x4 (manual transfer case) that the 4x4 stays lit and I can tell its still in 4x4. Last 2 times I had to shift back into 4x4 and then shift out of it again. Could the hub be causing this issue as well??

U joints are in perfect order

Anyway to test the right caliper?
Dont want to throw money at it without knowing if it really is bad, or if something else is bad.

Take caliper apart and inspect..Drive and see if one rotor gets hotter than another..Usually if pulling to one side that side is working and the other side isn't.
