Problem with 5.8L EFI

One of my friend has a 88 F250 4x4. We just change head and intake gaskets. The problem is its losing antifreeze. Its not in the oil and there isn't any steam coming from the exhaust. I haven't noticed any leaks. I just like to now were in the hell its going. Its gotta go somewhere. The truck is running bad. When you first start it up it runs fine for the first couple of minutes then it goes on its nose. It almost as if its backfiring internally. You kinda stutters,coughs, hiccups whatever you want to call it. Please help if you can. Maybe its just time for a new engine the old gals had a rough life.
