you need to remove the air bubble by bleeding it!

do you know how many times this thing has been bled?! probly 5 times a week and the only thing that solved it the wrong way was no thermo my buddy tried 2 or 3 thermos and none worked i guess

How are you bleeding it, I had no luck using just the bleeder bolt, i had to put the car on ramps turn the car on let it warm up with the heater on and then let it cool off and it seemed to work for me (keep it on the ramps the whole time), Also make sure your resevoir is full so it has something to replace the air with...

Are you running the stock mechanical fan clutch or electrical fans. If you have the stock mechanical fan clutch check to see if its functional if not then replace it since you already replace the thermostat and water pump.
For bleeding the system, jack the front of the car up, make sure the reservoir is full, open the radiator cap, start the car and turn the heater to full blast. Air bubbles will come out and fill as necessary.
