Had new plumbing and new delta shower faucet put in What would cause the water to rise to shower head when bath water is on shark bite were used delta company said they are the problem is that true?
I'm not sure about the sharkbites causing the problem. The root of the problem is that the water flow through the tub filler spout is restricted somewhere, and that is causing the water to gradually rise up to the shower head. The restriction could be anything from solder that seeped into a joint to a kinked piece of tubing or to using too small diameter tubing to the tub filler. Find the restriction, fix it, and the problem should be solved.
How many quarts of water does a shower spray in a minute?
This is dependent on the shower head, pressure, and a number of other factors. However, if you look at shower heads at the store, they will usually say something like "3 GPM" or "1.8 GPM", meaning gallons per minute. Many of the newer shower heads that are energy efficient have a regulator on them to restrict the flow, and therefore the gallons per minute that the head uses.

A head gasket replacement should definitely be covered under a power train warranty. As long as the dealer does not find a cause for the failure and attribute it to poor maintenance or something else that you could have done to cause the failure.

You have lost hot water pressure in your shower but not in your sinks what would cause this?
A dirty or clogged screen can cause the low water presser remove shower head and clean. If not it could be calcium deposits built up on shower head if so soak shower head in a cleaning solution for several hours if that dose not work buy a new shower head. (note some shower heads have a low flow re-stricter in some cases you can remove this and get more water pressure)
What would cause hot water to run out in 1 shower in just 5 minutes yet run for 30 in another shower?
It would have to be the controls or the shower head. Distance from the heater or size of supply lines shouldn't have much affect. The only variable would be the control or shower head and either one could have a flow restrictor in it or both.

'In the shower' would be correct as the world 'shower' does not strictly define the shower head.
Why does water leak behind the wall when the shower stem is pulled up but not when it is down and the water is running?
When you pull the stem up, it diverts the water from the tub spout to the shower head. Somewhere between the valve connection and shower head arm, you have a leak. The easiest part to check would be the arm that comes out of the wall that you screw the shower head on to. It is normally screwed in to a "shower Ell" and that connection and or pipe is easy to crack if someone pulls on the shower head. Pull the escutcheon plate towards the shower head and try to see into the hole and look for water at the connection. It would only leak when you are using the shower. If it is another connection or the riser pipe itself, you'll have to access it through the wall, hopefully from a room on the opposite side of the wall. Good Luck

Why would a shower make a squeaking noise 20 minutes after turned off then drip water?
if its just a shower and no tub spout then it most likely must be in your shower head and if its a hand held shower head (with a flexible hose attached) it most likely has a bad seal or some other way which allows air to get inside and drain the water out slowly. The same can be for a shower with a tub spout diverter and the shower head has a bad seal thus letting the water drain down the tub spout and it can be a real slow leak to cause the squeaking noise 20 minutes later, my guess of the squeaking noise would come from the air being pushed inside the shower head.
