Rear End problem?

I have a 03 F250 SD gas, when accelerating from a dead stop slowly turning left or right i get a vibration like crazy. When i strighten out and going stright it goes away. It happens in reverse too when going from a stop turing either way. I read somewhere that bad clutch packs were common in Expiditions but i dont know about SD's. I feel like a dog wagging its tail everytime i take off from a stop. Do you think this is clutch packs???? I would love to bite the bullet and pay the outragious price for these just to make it go away. Also i just changed rear end fluid and put some additive in that reduces all this stuff but is definitly not working.....I know it HAS to be coming from the rear because i would be able to feel it in the steering if it was in the front. Any help would be great

Thanks.

You probably didn't use an approved additive or enough of it. The shudder is most likely the clutches trying to slide. Add another bottle of the additive and if that doesn't work, try another brand.
