I figure 2000 RPM? 2K would have the stock Alternator worked up pretty good. What's the general rule?

What kind of winch?
What is the current draw?
The stock alternator in a 2F puts out 45 Amps, a stock SBC alt puts out around 100Amps.
As an example the 12V Warn XD9000 draws 460Amps at max load (9000#)
330Amps at a more realistic 6000# load.
The battery is where it's at.
Forget the hand throttle and get a good starting battery with the most cold cranking amps you can find. Stay away from deep cycle batteries for winching they are designed for slow deep discharge.
