But if you're not feeling artistic then just have to do some shopping around:

I have the same model as Neal (we replaced ours at similar times) but have noticed that we need to turn the valve very far to the cold side to have it “warm”. I wonder if this valve has the same adjustments?

OP shows the mix valves (theirs was stuck) that allow you to customize the flow to your needs.

Actually it wasn’t the mixing valve that was stuck it was the pressure/flow cold water plunger behind the set screw on the right. The one on the left is for the hot and was not stuck. No cold water could get to the mixing valve.

I may call Moen tomorrow and see what they say. Maybe they will send me a new cartridge.

I've had good luck calling Moen direct. When we got our coach it had top of the line Moen hardware (1997) in the kitchen and bath/shower. Unfortunately all the screens needed to be replaced and the screen in the kitchen pull-out spray faucet was not easy to find until I called Moen and they fixed me right up.

If I recall mine is like that too. It may have something to do with the actual water temp. I think you're in Florida so it's just below boiling I think Keep in mind fresh tank temp and also ground water temp.

LOL. I agree...Florida water is not refreshing. Especially when your water softener is sitting out there too. But we have seen this issue show up (at least somewhat) before arriving. Also, we would have to set the faucet to 3:00 to be able to stay in without it being too hot.

I did call Moen and they said temperature issues could be caused by the cartridge, so they are sending a new one. (under warranty).

Will let you know.

PS - We are back from Florida now...so once it arrives I can install it. Next trip out is not until June though.
