Welcome to the site the code you have there are misfire codes for cyl 1,2,3 and 4.

You stated that it happens on the freeway so my first thought is check fuel psi and maybe a compression test to rule out engine problems.

Do you know what the dealer has checked so far?

This is a GM dealer Service Department? I don't believe that is exactly what they said.

Maybe they said "a complete diagnostic to find the problem will cost you money"?

I have an SS and I have the PO 1-4 as well. I had a mechanic hook up his scan tool (much more expensive than my scan tool) and it showed the misfire mostly in cyl 4. I then did a compression test and found 4 to be way lower than the other 3. I would give that a try just to rule out that, like Lucky suggested.

JMO.....But I wouldn't bother offering suggestions and help to this OP. According to his profile, he has not returned since he posted his problem 3 weeks ago.

Either had it fixed or doesn't care. Again, just my opinion.
