Shudder at specific rare scenario
I have a shudder that happens when turning right at a grade of about 10% while accelerating, and only on that condition. While making a routine drive somewhere, there's a turn with that one condition. Every time it shudders. It doesn't bother me because it happens so rarely, so I'm just curious more than anything if someone knows why.

Does it make a difference how much fuel is in the tank. How the tires wearing, If you can do it on command find the spot and take a notice to your oil pressure gauge. do you have a limited slip diff.

Do some lock-to-lock figure-eights in a parking lot and see if it shudders. If you have a Posi-Trac rear as David mentioned this would indicate the need for a fluid change with the correct oil and additive.

No difference with fuel level. Tires are pretty new. Oil pressure guage is steady during shudder. My axle is a 3.55 non-LS diff.

Never know unless you look for it. Lock the wheel hard over to the right and get under there and see if it looks like the tire edge could hit anything on either the left or right sides. Look for shiny spot at the closest approach. Don't forget the slope at that one place will make the truck lean a little plus you'll be in the driver's seat which will affect how close a body part gets to the tire. Maybe it is something else but it would take your mind off of it if you found it was a tire rub.
