Sudden power loss in hard pull

I have a 1997 Dodge 3500 cummins turbo diesel 4X4 5spd manual with 133000 on it. Recently under a pull uphill, or under hard acceleration in any gear, it will suddenly lose power and began to smoke. If you let off of it after a few seconds it will pick up and go on if you don't push it to hard. The truck idles great. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
