Replacing my 2013 Tahoe with a Spectra Premium CU2370 radiator. I have the oil and trans cooler lines. Anyone know if the replacement fittings for the lines have a torque value?

the radiator should come with the fittings already installed
if not then i am not sure of the spec it's not going to be much it's attached to plastic and only has about 20 psi pressure so a firm snug tightening should be fine.
if I had to guess I would say no more than 15-20lbs max (again just a guess, I wouldn't not try to overtighten)

Yeah, the fittings came in a baggy. Probably just do snug then…thanks!
