Engine Issues

i am having a problem with my engine. i step on the pedal and it seems to stumble for fuel the engine shacks rough and as soon as i let off it, it stumbles hard again and almost dies but catches itself and continues to run rough. just replaced hpop and ipr and it did not help. has smoke coming out of crankcase vent and seemed to have oil seeping out of the dipstick tube. have no clue if its icp, fuel pump, fuel lift pump, debris restricting pickup in fuel tank, idm, valve cover gasket, injector pigtail or if i'm down an injector. any ideas would be greatly appreciated
thank you

Does the white smoke smell like fuel or sweet like brown sugar? It almost sounds to me like a blown head gasket although these trucks don't tend to have head gasket issues.

Try this, with the engine idling, take the oil filler cap off, turn it upside down and set it back over the fill hole. Does the pressure inside blow the cap off or does it just sorta rattle around on there?

Also, have you checked the fuel pressure or fuel filter? How about the FPR screen?
