Bad Vp?

My dad's truck looses power going down the road if you stop and take off again it sometimes fixes itself. If you put it in neutral when it looses power and rev it up it breaks apart and blows a ton of blue smoke. Just wondering if anyone else had a problem like this and what you did to fix it? It's an 02 with less then 80,000 miles on it and it only has a hypertech programer (60hp).
