Your posts are tough to read, but from what I can interpret you've got a '98 harness and you're trying to use a '99 PCM.
That won't work, the pinouts are different as previously posted. Probably fried the '99 PCM you tried.
I suspect the MAF error is just a calculated flow defect, because you're only moving 5.3L worth of air and the table is calibrated for a 5.7L engine.
Take it to a tuner with the '98 PCM in and have him work the calibrations to match your engine.
