Default 2003 f150 error code

Lately my engine light has been popping on at random times of driving. The code is P0171. I don't feel any power losses or other symptoms when this occurs... Got some pics but not sure if they'll help.. Anybody know how to fix this? Or what's causing it?

Based on your fuel trims. Adding 17-25% more fuel, you probably have a vacuum leak under your hood. You'll probably get a code soon about bank 2 also being lean. Start checking all the regular vacuum leak areas. There are a ton of info on them here.
