    HI Randy...

    I'd pull the new cartridge out and inspect the springs and washers (if present) under the new cartridge. My guess is that the springs/washers got disturbed when you installed the new cartridge.

    Let me know what happens, OK?

    I'm not thinking the cartridge itself is the issue, but the springs and cup washers that are usually under a delta cartridge... see image below.

    Check for these under the cartridge... they may have fallen out and you missed it is all... maybe?

    Otherwise, if the springs/cup washers aren't the issue pop back and let me know the particular model valve you have, OK?
