I think this is a regional thing and depends on where you live on how it's
pronounced.  I've heard it both ways.

You must remember, this is the English language we are talking about.
Pronunciation rules don't have to make sense.  (ghoti = fish!)

The preferred pronunciation of "kludge" is "klooj", actually.

Why?

If it were spelt 'kluge', as in 'luge', I would agreed, but as it is • spelt
'kludge', I think that it should be pronounced as per 'fudge', 'sludge' • etc.
