No, angled downslope as it is now, so the water doesn't hafta change
direction immediately after entering the drain - keep the flow going
downslope like it is now.

That t has a little angle to it, so you are saying it needs to be opposite
of how it is now, it currently angles up but I should move it and have it
angle down?

My thought, too. Swap the dishwasher drain "T" with the horizontal pipe
immediately above the trap; make sure the DW drain connection is on
topside of pipe and "headed/angled" down slope (toward the trap).

If you look at the photo I sent earlier, it looks like I could just swap
the section where the dishwasher drain goes into to the section right
above the trap, just swap those 2 sections of pipe. This would lower the
level of the trap a bit. Not sure that it would matter though.

The up loop to possible highest water level in the sink prevents water
from sink draining back into the washer in case of a defective
(leaking) valve in the dishwasher.
Anti-siphon vent is any type of air gap in the drain line; most of the
time (an exception could be having a sink and its drain filled with
water - blocked drain and sink full of water), an effective gap is
where the dishwasher drain is connected to the drain above the trap.
Some jurisdictions require an additional, physical break (gap) in the
dishwasher drain hose ABOVE the possible highest water level in the
kitchen sink (water can not siphon (nor run/drain) from the sink back
past the air gap). (See illustrations in Goggle's "images for
plumbing dishwasher."
If you don't have either the gap or the up loop, you've been lucky. I
hope you continue to be so.

Rich, don't know what the anti siphon vent is. Everything works ok on
mine so apparently I don't need it.
Wilton, it seems the up loop would serve the same purpose as the trap.
Again, since my unit works fine, I apparently don't need it.
As I've said before, I may have just been lucky. Or it could be that
my whole house water filter helps remove chemicals, etc. I know my
commode bowls stay pretty clean and my water heaters (have two) are
past normal expiration times and are still working fine. Just
sayin......
Kaleb, let us know how your quest goes. This certainly is a perplexing
issue with lots of "possible" causes and solutions.
