Dedenbear #WP1 water pump

Dragsinger · 09-23-2009, 05:42 PM

I like the look & size, are some of you running the Dedenbear SBC water pump? If so, is it adequate for the late rounds? Does it have a good service life?

Thanks for your comments.

Don't put anti freeze thru them! Takes the seals out.
I've had two now for my big block chevy , both times i've put antifreeze in for late october racing, they started leaking.
They do sale seal kits for these pumps.
I have no problem cooling the car down,some times I race two classes in the same day,back to back classes. THE PUMP WORKS GOOD FOR ME!

We have had one of these pumps on our SS car for years with no problems. I replaced it with a CSR pump last year and had the Dedenbear back on by the end of the year. Awesome pump. No problems and I have not noticed any difference in cooling in late rounds. The Meziere pumps are also very good.
