It's possible. A build-up of sludge can plug up parts of the radiator core and make it lose capacity. Sometimes they can be flushed and cleaned to improve performance.
How does one remove sludge almost the consistency of mud in the radiator of a 2000 Ford Taurus?
I don't know for sure, but can't you just get a radiator flush kit to get out the sludge? It's worth asking the guy at the parts house about. In such extreme cases of cooling system sludge build up, I would take it to a shop for a professional flushing and cleansing. I would suggest a car radiator specialist type shop - they'll know how to NOT cause more damage to the system. See "Related Questions" below for more about flushing it yourself

Does the Pontiac Vibe with the Toyota engine have trouble with oil sludge build up oil gel?
Yes! After only 87,000km and at least 12 oil changes my engine quit on me. I had the car towed to the local GM dealer, only to find out a few days later that the engine had sludge in both the upper and lower engine. I was also advised that GM would not warranty the engine because of the sludge. I bought this car thinking it would be much better than the usual GM product, because of the Toyota engine...but was I wrong! I am presently compliling several complaints from Toyota and Pontiac owners about this problem. It seems that Toyota have have had engine design flaws that contributed to the sludge problem (engine running to hot, oil filter positionning, etc..). I have most of my maintenance records and still GM does not want to cover the motor on warranty. If you have any other information about this problem, could you forward the info? -------- I had the valve cover off mine at 100K miles, definitely no sludge problem in there. Also, among the Vibers at forums.genvibe.com, there have not been any reported sludge problems
