Hey Scotty, I’ve got a couple codes I need help fixing. The codes are P0171 and P0174. The check engine light turns on and off randomly. Any advice?

2007 GMC Yukon Denali

The two codes above indicate both cylinder banks are detecting a lean condition.  The following below indicates where to start in the troubleshooting:

Go through the low hanging fruit items in that link first.  If those don’t pan out, then look for a vacuum leak, you can use a smoke machine to find the source of the leak. Scotty has a video how to do this if you search on his YouTube channel.
