If I coast into the corner it doesnt do it. Say I pull into my driveway, which is a little steep. Ill slow down to pull in, turn then accelerate up the driveway ill fell it shudder right under my seat for a second then it goes away. If im making a k turn in my driveway ill feel it shudder while turning and accelerating.

Do you have a factory limited slip, or perhaps an Auburn? Reason I ask is that Auburn recommends NOT using synthetic in their LSD but instead regular oil with the friction modifier/LSD additive added in the prescribed amount.
I had an Auburn in my Exploder. I changed the lube one time, and didn't put enough of the additive in. When I turned, especially really tight turns, you could hear and feel the limited slip binding and releasing a couple of times a second. Kind of a "chunk-chunk-chunk-chunk..." noise.
Once I changed it again and put the proper amount of additive in, it was quiet and smooth again.

Ok, I think I may have solved the problem. I took off the driveshaft so I could check the u joints accurately, there was no play. I scratched my head all afternoon since everything appeared ok, so my problem pointed to the rear end. I checked everythign and everything looked ok, so I decided to pick up 4oz. of friction modifier to add to the synthetic valvoline I just put in the other day. I figured it wont hurt, because if I have to rebuild the rear clutch packs etc. then I may as well try this. So I added the 4oz. of the modifier and viola! no more chatter!!! Truck feels great. I tried for about an hour to get it to chatter where it would before, and I couldnt get it to do it. Thanks to all of you guys who took the time to help me!
