Thanks for the Info Hatzie.
I tried 4 used relays and 1 brand new relay, all had same result... 12.4V back probing Terminal A and 8.9-9.1V on Terminal E, grounded direct to battery.

I'm not great at finding info in these forums, I feel like I've searched every possible combination of word search... would like to know any suggestions for a next step.

P.S. Some Clarification:
91 V3500 454: While testing the A terminal (key on) 12.3+/- volts. Testing the E terminal I get 12.3V+/- at initial key on and while cranking, but falls back to 9Volts +/- when not cranking/not triggering fuel pump....
Interestingly enough I did the same test on my 91 V2500 Suburban 350 it gives similar readings except when testing E terminal key on when not cranking/not triggering fuel pump it then gives a 9 MILI VOLT reading.
Any Idea why the V3500 gives 9Volt reading while the same test on the V2500 gives different reading of 9 Mili Volt???

Also I checked firewall and Engine Ground both seem perfect.
