With your drivers window down and on pavement cut the wheel to the right or left and give it gas, there will be a noticeably different sound coming from your front tires. Almost like they are being dragged along the pavement, your turning radius will be reduced as well.
and yes the light on the dash coming on is a good start.

Just brainstorming here (so feel free to tell me it won’t work). Could you put the truck in neutral, engage the CDL and the parking brake then jack up the front and have someone help you to try and spin the front wheels at the same time? If the CDL is locked you shouldn’t be able to do it because the parking brake is on the rear driveshaft. If the CDL isn’t engaged you would be able to spin the wheels as it would just back drive the transfer case through the input shaft to the transmission (which is in neutral so it would be able to spin).
