Question type: General

My Chevy Equinox is overheating. It has no leaks. Water
pump, thermostat, radiator cap,fans ex...is all good. It's a
mystery. Water is gone bit no signs of leaks. Can drive it for
an hour and never get hot but as soon as I stop somewhere
and turn off and then get to driving again it will start
running hot. Please help I am at a loss.
