Like others have said, diesel availability should be no problem, as long as you can make it the 200-250 miles between fueling stops. The Dalton only starts to get good around Coldfoot. The trip over Atigun Pass is well worth it, and once you've made it that far, you might as well go all the way to Prudhoe, and take the tour to the Arctic Ocean.
Inuvik (up the Dempster) is a really neat town, and also recommended. Consider doing a flying excursion to Tuktoyaktuk (or just "Tuk", if you want to sound local)
