I've just replaced a Delta shower cartridge with a non OEM. When closed fully, the shower head drips. When opened just very slightly, it stops dripping. For now, I've flipped the limiter so that the handle stops just where it needs to stop the drip (I don't need a limit on the hot end, anyway). Is it a bad cartridge or something else?
 
There are seats and springs inside the cartridge that can wear out. They are replaceable by removing the cartridge and disassembling it. I would just replace the cartridge tho if it was me. Do you know what cartridge you need?
