How many miles on your truck? I've heard the rear end will vibrate during turns if fluid hasn't ever been changed and its got a decent amount if miles

if you have a limited slip it is most likely the clutch packs. Dealer told me a fluid change would cure it and he siad he has seen some that are otherwise perfect have that chatter feeling.

Then that is more then likely your problem. They are sliding all over the place and not grabbing, time to get some new ones.

Mine was doing that too, change the fluid in the rear differential and add 2 bottle of friction modifier, problem solve !
