They're cheaper than a road call, replace the assemblyOxbow and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Is replacing the dryer filter an option? Or just a temporary fix
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Just replacing the filter will not fix the purge valve leak.Oxbow and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

On most 99's, at the dryer, you'll have 1 big line in, one big line out, and a small signal line from the governor.
The small signal line is what tells the purge valve to purge.
Remove that small line with the engine running, if there is no air there, and the purge valve is leaking, the dryer/purge valve is your issue.
You don't need to check anything elseOxbow, hope not dumb twucker and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Rideandrepair Thanks this.

Would that indicate a different problem?
Rideandrepair Thanks this. -
Ok so I left the truck running while I was messing with it. As the air built it started coming out of that little line so I pushed the fitting back on and the purge valve popped. It pushed a little air out but stopped after a few seconds it was building air decently and purging.
