Unhappy powerloss in upper gears

I have a 1999 F350 Superduty, dually diesel, 7.3l powerstroke. It has all kinds of power in gears 1 through 3 but 4 through 6 suffer a powerloss.
It blows blue smoke and rpms won't go over 2800. Guessing is getting too costly and I turned to the internet for help and found your site. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
thanks

Welcome to the FTE there are some very knowledagable people on this forum that can help you and hopefully will chime in soon. The blue smoke is burnt oil are you only getting the blue smoke in the upper gears? And what things have you done to the truck mods or is it stock?
