If you go, you need to get a copy of the Milepost (https://amzn.com/1892154358), which will give you info on gas, food, and accommodation. Don't expect to pull up Google Maps on your phone to find the next gas station. Even in the summer months (I've done it) these facilities can be far apart, and if you let that gas station go because you've still got half a tank, you need to know where the next one is.
Outside of the summer season, many of these places close up tight for winter, making the distances between even greater.
Connecticut to Great Falls was four days via a stop in Cincinnati which was a bit out of the way.
From Great Falls it's a couple days up to Dawson Creek BC where the highway begins. It was four days drive up to Fairbanks.
The "bible" of the north is called "The Milepost" guide. It's basically a 700 page magazine. It's published yearly and has a map of the Alaska Highway and other highways up there. Worth a read even if you never go.
