I have a similar issue with a 2014 5.3, but I notice it at a lower speed (typically 35-40) and when engine speed is between 1500-2000 upon slight acceleration. Haven't dug too deep into it, but have scanned for codes and there were none.
The only thing I've noticed is that these shivers happen when ignition advance drops to around 5 degrees.
On mine I was able to capture some data and chart it and it seems spark advance drops quickly when the stumble happens. I've even recorded NEGATIVE advance on a couple passes. Not sure if that's the OBDII sw (it's an OLD program) or if it's really getting a negative number from the PCM.
