I spent all night on the computer and found the NFC rotors I was looking for. They are making them for the 2012 Avalanche now, for the back anyway. Now the pads are $38 to $50 unless you want the OEMs and they're $94 to $160 WTF?? There are 3 ACDELCO ceramics and the other two are $39 and $41. The description is identical except the high priced say OEM. What the heck? The OEM NFC rotors are ball park with all the others. $71

I web browse all the time and find it very hard to navigate your forum, especially replying. Has anyone found a source to buy FNC rotors? I called Kelly Chevy and Baglier Buick In Butler,Pa and got the same response that I've gotten every time I've ever called. They don't want to talk to the customers that bought their cars. The have their own click with other dealers and garages. GM has had FNC rotors for 7 years and every parts BOY I talk to never heard of them. I think GM puts them on the new cars to cut down on warranty work because they found out they cut off their own source and PUT OUT OF BUSINESS manufacturers of good rotors and it came back to bit them in the ass in warranty work. So they put them on new cars to cut down on repairs but you and me can't buy them because they make money selling junk rotors after the warranty is gone. When a new Chevy comes new with NFC rotors shouldn't it be against the law to sell an OEM rotor that's not REALLY OEM?

2012 Avalanche LTZ. Two yrs ago I found out about the Ferritic nitrocarburized rotors. I thought I bought them (only the front for now) only to find out they weren't. I put them on anyway but, I wanted to know where to get them. I hunted and searched, called parts stores, GM dealer parts, and all of them thought I was talking Chinese. Never heard of them. I finally found articles on a hard to find GM link saying they started being standard equip on some GMs 2014? I think. I called the place that does the Ferritic nitrocarburizing for GM and the head guy told me they never treated one for Avalanches (last Avalanche 2013) I believe he said Silverados got them starting in 2014 but didn't know if they fit. I spent a whole day searching and comparing Part numbers and dimensions at auto part stores because if the generic # fit both vehicles the OEM Ferritic nitrocarburized ones would. Well GM wasn't having any of that, they put different part # for the Silverado and refused to update the Avalanche even though the front specs out the same. The back has deeper off set but I just found out the 2016 Tahoe is the same dimensions front and back. The back brake rotors are now acting up from retirement lack of use, RUST. I still can't find where to buy the Ferritic nitrocarburized ones. HELP HELP HELP Parts people aren't friendly help. I remember back when you walked into a parts store threw it down on the counter and he'd say oh that's a .... and go get it or, find one on the shelf to match. I'm going to get a hold of a guy on (no I'm not telling where) he is selling all four for $10 off a 2016 Tahoe with 36,000 miles because he bought a trailer and thinks he's upgrading to slotted rotors. I don't think so and don't care I want those rotors. I still need to know where to buy new ones and GM dealer people never heard of them. So once again HELP HELP for info where to get them. Thank you if you read this far.
