Default 07 grand driveline shudder

My 07 wk seems to have an issue with a driveline vibe. If I park on a hill facing up or down ,start vehicle,and get up to highway speed it has a terrible shudder like I'm driving on the shoulder cut outs on the side of the road. I'm now starting to notice on occasion it will do it after a long flat rd run. Trans fluid id good. I have a QT 1 drive line. Any ideas? And if I shut off and turn back on it stops?

I'd say dealer diagnosis is required.

The front differential on the WK Grand Cherokees (2005-10) are terrible... our old '05 had to have the front driveshaft replaced which was unfortunately a VERY expensive repair (near $2k)...
