4 wheel drive not working

My 4 wheel drive in not working, we got some snow today. And it doesn't seem to be working. Rear end is sliding around like it is in 2 wheel drive. I have after market Warn Hubs (have been on for a few years). And idea how to trouble shoot this? Light on the dash comes on too.

I would suspect one of your hubs isn't engaging. If you can, put the truck in 2WD and crawl under it and attempt to turn the front drive shaft. If it turns, replace hubs. If it doesn't then you'll need to find out why the transfer case isn't kicking into 4WD. You can also attempt to put the transfer case into 4WD low range and see if it shifts OK. If it does and your drive shaft test was positive then you're in 4WD and the sliding around is some other problem.
