Default Chatter on take off

Has anyone notice when pulling a load that their transmission chatters when taking off from a stop. Mine and a friends 08 does this.

Is this a standard or auto transmission and is it possible that it's axle wrap?

I found this because I never heard of axle wrap.

This is the 6 speed auto. It is not the axle. I can start slow and easy and you can feel it until you are in I believe third. It is noticeble with out a load but barely. Put 5K behind the truck and you can feel it.

I have the same kind of thing...Not a chatter but a vibration only noticed at takeoff...As I understand it, alot of the trucks do this.

There may be a fix for this. On another site I watched the posts about the 68RFE shudder. A couple of Chrysler techs and a service manager suggested putting 2 oz. of Mopar limited slip differential additive in the transmission to eliminate clutch slippage in the torque convertor and the transmission clutch packs. I was damned skeptical and watched the posts for some time. The transmission in my truck was shuddering very noticeably with the trailer hooked up. The AB flash helped some but did not eliminate it. We were heading to B.C. down and back up the Coquihalla (read hard pull) on Labour Day Weekend so about the middle of August, I decided to try it. IT WORKS! It did not eliminate the shudder right away but took about 2 weeks to do its thing. Only put in 2 oz, not the whole bottle. My truck now has 72,000 kms on it. At that time it had about 65,000 showing.
