Alaska trip 2018

Might carry an extra fuel filter with you but I would do it.
I'm on the other side of Houston and am wanting to do it in 2018. I'm thinking about just driving US287 to Choteau MT. Then up through Banff. Wave if you see me.

"Have any of you pulled from the lower 48 up to Alaska with that mileage on your truck?"

My 2009 Silverado with Duramax has just about 100,000 on it. Murphy's law apparently means that all sorts of sensors fail or begin to fail at 100,000. Never had any problem with the iron, just the computer gizmo's.

I drove this truck from Katy to Anchorage in 2011 with circa 75,000 miles on it (limited use since then obviously) and in November of last year pulled from Seattle to Los Anchorage with a 5500# boat behind it. Recently pulled an equipment trailer with circa 10,000#'s from Los Anchorage to McCarthy and back (circa 700 miles only, but a pretty tough road). No problems making either trip....just sensor's needing to be replaced in between.

Had a Nash about that weight. Got under 7mpg with gas, 13 with diesel.

Common sense is what makes it a great trip. Meet a camper in Dawson Creek on his 19th day getting his bent 5er hitch repaired. Another dropped one of his TT axles on the road.

Tire condition is likely a bigger concern than mileage.

I believe the key is..."I have a maintained it meticulously and it runs like a top." Have a great time!

I do not have a truck, but a MH and have traveled to Alaska several times.
MH has nearly 180,000 miles. We pull a toad.
As long as rig is in good shape won't have any problems.
I would ask what size fuel tank you have. Some of the smaller fueling places have disappeared over the years. There is a couple stratches of around 200 miles.
It is a great trip! Things have changed since I first went to Alaska in the '60s. Take your time!
