2011 yukon denali just started give me a hard time pumping the gas stopping every few seconds. I know it could be a clogged vent but I don't know where it is or how to get to it. I never looked under the truck so not sure what I'm looking at

Try a different pump before blaming your truck.

Like avalonandl said, Google is your friend and you are likely spot on with the vent problem. Has the tank been dropped recently?

This happened to me 2 days before my fuel pump took a Sh#% on my 04 Yukon. Have no idea if this is some kind of “tell” forecasting that.

In Hell, but I've got a Tahoe!
My daughter had a Kia SUV that had a similar problem, and it was a filter or vent hose of some type, though I can't remember which now. I'd say that's as good a place as any to start looking, but like you, I'm not sure where to look on your rig.

Try backing the nozzle out of the tank about an inch. I notice that if I jam it all the way in there, it pops off after it starts fully flowing.

When I had this problem with our 2009 it was the charcoal canister.
