    .
    Things i’ve tried:

    Replaced Thermostat
    Replaced water pump
    flushed cooling system
    bled air out of cooling system
    pressure tested to 15psi, stayed at pressure for 5 minutes.

    Any ideas on what could be causing it? Thanks!

    If your getting cold air with the heat on you either have a blockage or air entrapment.
    First see if the heater core is blocked by flushing it out.

    Then bleed the cooling system:

    If it is a troublesome system you may need to vacuum fill the system:
