Without checked bags, it takes 10-15min to clear immigration and customs (with GE and assuming no delays).

Then get yourself to departures and go through security, which will take 10-15min (or more) even with Pre-Check. And finally walking/running to your gate, taking another 5-10min+ depending.
So at a minimum it will take 30-40min to get to the onward flight, but it could easily take 60-70min+. Ultimately your call, but I wouldn't attempt that connection.
FWIW, I just flew into T5 last week on AA flying J. It took me a solid 30-40min to get to T3 -- with GE, Pre-Check and no checked bags.
Thanks for the advice. You're probably right as it is a foolhardy plan and I'll just get a cash ticket home.
