I will tell you that this may throw a CEL on you, as lonestar said the CAN-bus is picky, even with simple stuff like the chimer. A couple of others have removed the chimer and they had a CEL come on. But with that said you’ll be taking the cluster so far apart that you can just cover up the CEL with 3 layers of electrical tape on the back side and be done with it lol
So take the cluster all the way apart, there are some other how-tos on how to do it. It gets pretty technical and you have to be very careful if you want it to work right when you put it back together lol
If what these other guys did is right, the chimer is a 3/4” inch wide by 1/2” inch tall cylinder in the top left of the cluster on the “front” of the circuit board (its on the same side of the circuit board that the needles poke out, towards the battery gauge)
Providing you already have a little chimer module from the 5th gen rams, I would imagine you’d just take the old one out and solder the new one in and hope it works right. The main issue is voltage, amperage, pulse width, 1-chime module vs. 2-chime module, etc. could be different and mess with the chime’s sound, if itll work at all
It takes a lot of work, but the end result would be something pretty neat. When I replace my cluster face i may give something like this a try as well. The 3rd gen chime isn’t exactly soothing on the ears lol
EDIT- 4th gen and 5th gen chimes sound about the same from listening to a few youtube videos. It’d probably be easier to find a chimer from a 4th gen than from the new 5th gens and youd get the same effect
