Re: Am I wrong here?
You never posted anything about "mud" in your system. All you said was...
"After having it towed to the dealer, they found no coolant in the radiator although my reservoir was full!!! I did keep an eye on the reservoir but not the radiator itself."
…nothing about you opening anything up and finding sludge or mud. You did state that you did not watch the rad level and over the course of 4 months it's plausible that your fluid leaked out somewhere. As for the Dex problems - I'm not saying that it's problem free but then again not many things are. In my experience I find that most breakdowns of "maintenance" items (oil, tranny rad fluid) is due to neglect whether it's accidental or not. I'm not trying to flame you in any way. The title of your post is "Am I wrong here". Strictly looking at your post I'm leaning towards maybe. The ultimate truth to all this is that the system is "sealed" and the only way for the fluid to cook down leaving just mud is for the fluid to escape as steam - a leak?!
You also never posted what failed causing all the steam. Did a hose burst?
