I tried to push coolant through the heater hoses with a coolant flush machine. still have the same problem not over heating temp said 180. but no heat inside the bus. also the coolant goes empty in the tank. when i open it some of the level comes back up. i have the driver taking his bus every day thinking maybe the air pocket would come out..any help would be great...

Check the simplest thing first, is the new thermostat working. If it the type that stays open once an over heat situation has happened it may not be closing to maintain your 180F at speed.

The stuck open thermostat makes sense to me as well. Also, check your coolant transfer pump on the firewall. Not sure where Bluebird installs them. Have you also checked for a restriction somewhere? The high revs move the coolant through but idle isn't cutting it. Pulling some heater lines and checking for flow wouldn't hurt.:)

i've run into this before. check the return from the heater where it's plumbed into. it of course should be on the suction hose to the water pump or the lower hose. if that's ok it could be the water pump impeller is worn. if it's worn it won't have enough suction to help pull the water back from the system.
