Wierd shutter when I turn a corner
I had a 1999 2500 Diesel that never did this. Would still have that truck had it not been totaled out as a result of a texting driver. Anyway, we survived T-Boning the idiot who pulled out in front of us and I ended up purchasing a 2001 diesel of the same configuration (4WD, extended cab). It does have wider tires than the 1999 had.
Things are fine as I roll down the highway. However, when I make a slow turn as in turning from one road to another, I feel a weird shuttering in the drive train, much as what you feel when the truck is engaged in 4 wheel drive.
I have had it to a shop twice and my local mechanic can't find anything. I suppose I could take it to the stealership and have them look it over but thought I would check here first if any of my fellow members would have any ideas.
Thanks in advance.

How do I determine if my differential is LSD? Since I didn't have time, I did have the fluids replaced by my mechanic when I purchased it since I didn't know when they were last replaced. And axle U-Joints were my first thoughts when I felt this. The truck has 84,000 miles so it could be both things. Something for me to do some free weekend.
