Re: 0n a Moen TL2383--what do i do to get hot water thru...
The tl2383 is just a trim kit...if you have a 2 handle shower valve and it is moen then the number is 2919....you just need a new cartridge if you are not getting any hot water....it is a 1224 cartridge.

Two possible options i can think of.
1) the hot water valve at the hot water tank is partially closed. look for a lever that can be opened fully. the valve could have become faulty.
2) a copper line from the tank to the faucet might be bent somewhere in the middle
check the aerators on the faucets. i know after i change a hot water tank there is always some crud that comes through the lines and gets stuck in the aerators, they are the part that holds the screens in place on the spouts.
You have a obstruction in cold side turn off both cold and hot water to faucet then disassemble cold side(take note of how you take apart it must go back correctly) slowly open cold water stop to see if you can dislodge obstruction(use a towel over cold water handle assembly to keep from water shooting everywhere).
The hot side sounds like it has some junk in the hot side blocking the hot water from coming through check hot water line to make sure that it is coming through down below and if so you would need to take it apart and try to get the junk out of that side of the faucet.
these valves can be adjusted by removing the handle and adjusting the white gear that regulates the hot and cold that come out, try going more to one way if it gets colder then go the other way.
This needs a new cartridge and may only cost you a couple of bucks at your local plumbing store. If you do this yourself, just make sure you turn off the water to both the cold and the hot and you will probably just need a allen wrench, screw driver and maybe a cresent wrench.
Replacing the cartridge should solve the problem, the balancing spool is stuck, replacing it will solve the problem. The valve should look like this http://www.moen.ca/shared/pdf/3170pt.pdf . I have unstuck the spools in the past, soaking it in white vinegar will help to remove build up.
