Hi guys, Ok when in to have diff oil and trans case oil changed but tech said don't bother it is all spotless. Also pinion looks brand new so must have had a leak or something lately and it was replaced. My axle says B6 on sticker so does it make sense that it has that slight shudder when turning right like the manual says, in the snow today I could still feel it at times but no where near as much. Also in a straight line the diff is so, so quiet not a mumur which confuses me if it is going wrong.
I checked parking brakes for binding and nothing cables are in the right place and it rolls when in neutral.
Hopefully it is my lack of knowledge with trucks that is messing me up and it is the way it is meant to be. It has a full dealer service history and isn't quiet due yet but I had an oil and filter done today so I could start to get on top of it.
Thanks in advance experts,
Pete

You have a limited slip, so the shudder is normal. The outer wheel is having to turn at a faster rate than the inner wheel when going around a sharp corner. The limited slip clutches are trying to do thier job and keep the wheels at the same turning ratio, which is impossible in a turn, therefore you get the shudder as they catch and release.

Excellent news thank you so much! Now I can enjoy the truck, I have to say it has been amazing in 4x4 mode in the deep snow here in Alberta today, great fun...
I went to synthetic oil as I thought with the very low temps, this weekend -28, it would not thicken so much and make starting easier.
Now it goes in on Tuesday to get the code for the door read not sure I feel comfortable removing seats when everything is so brittle from the cold.
Thanks guys,
