Need helpfull advice

Hey fellas. Well I just bought an 09 F250 Superduty CC 4x4 with Auto tranny about 3 weeks ago. Trucks running great but I'm noticing a weird shudder when I put it into reverse. When I shift into reverse the truck kinda softly shutters for a second as its reversing. I've made sure its not the brakes grabbing either, I can shift into reverse and not touch the brakes and it shutters a little bit as it very first begins to back up, Its almost as if the torque converter is acting up. My U-joints are good etc etc. I'm gonna probably take it in since its still under warranty but I was just wondering if you guys have any clue to what it might be.

BTW, the trucks shifting perfectly, tranny temp is always perfect, fluid level is perfect also. 24,000 miles

Does this happen when slowly turning at all in reverse? Rear end chatter/shudder?

All the above are good ?
But I have a few more
Do you tow any trailers with this truck?
Does it do this shudder or a second bump in the driveshaft when going forward from a stop?

possible causes could be limited slip problems or fluid
Drive line angle ,some f350's have had a change in the center bracket in the 2 piece drive shaft.

also the drive shaft slip joint could be dry an need lubed with a special teflon grease from ford.
