FYI after a year of rear end shake when taking off from a stop and numerous attempts to repair Chryslers says this is normal SO BEWARE OF 3500 DIESEL PICKUPS

It's called launch shudder. Our DRW Ford and Dodge 3500's shudder too when towing. It's physic's and I won't even begin to try and explain it. IMHO there's two ways to eliminate launch torque shudder; one's free and the other will set ya back a few bucks.
First, slowly ease into the throttle from a dead stop. That's a lot of mass and weight your engine and tranny has to overcome from a dead stop...give both some time to get the load up and moving before rolling into the throttle to accelerate.
Second, I found that adding a set of traction bars and a tranny brace also helped. I had them painted to match the truck...and they look kinda cool too.
Happy camping!!! See y'all down the road!!!:)
