My question at the bottom of the problem was that does the Dakota have the
same problem. Instead of running the air intake from the front side but run
it from the backside towards the cowl section of the Dakota. This is a
shorter distance, straight tube angle, and cold air.

Well, you inadvertently answered the "RamAir" question with that article
(that may have no bearing on the Dakota issue):

And my Cowl Induction Hood works great to keep the engine bay cooler as
is...15-20 degrees cooler (measured).
