The vehicle still starts well and uses no oil or water. However at 2000 rpm white smoke billows from the exhaust and the vehicle will not go above 30 mph. Any ideas anyone? The engine is a 2.5L 12 valve non turbo diesel, year 2000.

You might check the transmission fluid level. The fluid may be entering the combustion chamber. That is if it’s an automatic.
You have a blown head gasket. There is antifreeze entering the engine and being blown off as white smoke. Your car can not produce the power as a result.
