how much power you lost? i had a similar problem with mine. 2002 diesel sport. more of a flat spot than power loss tho. my crank case breather was overdue a replacement by 30k mile . should be done at 60k.i might be a mile off but once that was done the smoke went and power returned. read my post bout oil blowin out dipstick. hope this helps.
