There are two 6 guage to the garage. They come directly from the dual
breaker in the house. Nothing else, so I assume I will need to run
another 6 gauge for neutral?

Hi,
And ground.
Looks like some one half finished the wiring job. Went to lunch break
and forgot to come back and finish?

2 options:
Add neutral. Neutral bar at garage connects to ground rod and
panel/ground bar (usually a screw in the ground bar). There can be no
continuous metal connections from the house to garage.

Add neutral and ground. Neutral bar at garage does not connect to
panel/ground bar. Ground wire from house connects to panel/ground bar
and ground rod.
