so this is probably a dumb question but what volts does the 6.4 sys run on?i got a winch that runs on a 24v sys and need to know so i can buy a converter if need be

All trucks run on 12V, I haven't heard of a convertor that goes from 12V to 24V, you'll need a separate system for 24v, including separate Alt. It'll be cheaper for you to get a 12V winch that to try the 24V route.

you can get a converter to put out 24V, but youre not going to find an easy solution to handle the load you need. Look at the amperage load for max pulling capacity and try to find a converter for that load. Might be better off getting a bank of batteries and connecting them in series/parallel and a separate charger to charge that bank.
