Driveline shudder or vibration.

I have had no luck with a resolution. I am currently talking to Chrysler about all the issues I have had with this truck. Last week I started to hear a "tick" on the left side of the engine. I crawled under and found 2 more broken exhaust manifold studs. This time it is on the left side. In April it was in the shop for two broken on the right side. If Chrysler is unwilling to help with troubleshooting the shudder, broken studs or both I will get more serious with my complaints. May just trade it in for a Silverado.

Well, some not so good news.
I went to TWO different drive shaft specialists asking about the transmission as the dealer said my driveshaft was bad. They can't even service the damn thing. They also don't think there's anything wrong with the driveshaft, unless it's a balance issue. U-Joints look good, and they think they center bearing is okay as well.
That led me to a transmission specialist. Real nice guy actually. Spent 40 minutes analyzing and driving my truck while hooked up to a scanner, and didn't charge me a dime.
Anyway, using his scanner during the drive, he noticed some Torque Converter slippage is occurring during the shuddering, most noticeably during low RPM shifts. It's not doing it when the engine RPM is up, only under low load stuff.
I was told by the stealership that my fluid levels were okay. But then again, they also said that my driveshaft was bad.
So, I'm going to check my fluid per the manual (pain in the **** actually) in the morning, to ensure I've actually got enough in there.
Let me know how your visit went when you get time.
Thanks
