The newer trucks have a thermal actuator that sometimes fail - that would be the first thing I would check into. Don't worry, your english is fine.

Chances are the little element in your automatic hubs (thermal actuator) is burnt out.
You'll need to take the hubs apart to check them out. But, since I have never taken one apart, I am not so sure I can help you out here...

Yeah, it sounds like the actuator. I have never dealt with them though.
