I have a GPE27 10/11 meter vertical, considering using it on 6 meters using an antenna tuner<6 meter>, will it work or suggestions?

Anything can be made to radiate a signal if you use a tuner but that does not mean it will work well. IMO using a tuner on a 27 MHz antenna like that is not a great idea. It will not work nearly as well as a 6m antenna will even a simple 6m groundplane will work better especially for 6m repeater work. If you are after DX on 6m you really should go horizontal. Try a dipole even.
